Dang de doodle, but I do like talking with you guys. Now, according to my  
research (book two) it shouldn't be possible to upset weld titanium at  all. Ti 
is supposed to form oxides way too fast under heat to be welded any way  but 
by fusion (electric arc) or within special inert atmospheric brazing ovens.  
What this means to me is that somebody has come up with a better flux. If  
someone has come up with a flux that makes this possible, it should  also work for 
brazing titanium, which is my interest. What flux is  it?
