FAQ EB Fillet Weld of Titanium Sheets

 "CAN YOU USE EB WELDING TO FILLET WELD BETWEEN TWO 1/32" SHEETS OF TITANIUM?"

Yes you can, however this is dependent on the joint configuration you are trying to achieve. For your application a fillet weld in the “classical sense” is difficult because of the thinness of the material. (See Figure 1) If you are good, it might be able to be done this way, but definitely not without adding filler material. If you choose to try this method you will need to place the filler material or wire into this joint. (See Reference 1a)

However an EB-type, fillet edge weld would make the most sense here. (See Figure 2) With this configuration you will be pulling some material from the top corner of your workpiece which will melt down below to make the fillet and join the seam. (See Reference 2a)
