Abstract
A magnetically-controlled process of welding, which originated from the electroslag process, permits to join the critical titanium parts of a military machinery in air, under a local inert shielding atmosphere, using the welds which meet the strict requirements of the defense industry. Products welded with such joints have successfully served over decades in the sea and air, under the conditions of high dynamic loads and corrosion. Moreover, there were no known failures in cast metal of the mentioned welds. Such welds can join the titanium parts of 30–400 mm thickness (Fig.1) [1].
