Technical Group Event
JOIN OUR METALLIC MATERIALS TECHNICAL GROUP (TG3) WEBINAR
Titanium has a very specific role to play in manufacturing, with particular strength to weight benefits, but is a complex material to process for a number of reasons.
Presentations will cover the basics of titanium, the specific requirements in how to handle and weld it to achieve a good quality, and also more niche joining/processing methods.
Who should attend?
Welders, welding engineers, metallurgists, quality engineers in aerospace, automotive, defence, engineering and fabrication, space.
Experts from industry and TWI Ltd will be presenting on a range of topics:
-
Tracey Holmes, Technical & Business Development Manager, Bibus Metals Group, on Unlocking Potential: Industrial Applications of Titanium and its Alloys
- Luke Keane, Director, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques, on Weld Purging for Zero Colour Welds
- Dr David Howse, Technology Fellow - Arc Welding Engineering, TWI Ltd, on Quality Control for Arc Welding of Titanium Alloys
- Paul Brooker, Consultant, TWI Ltd, on Joining of Titanium using Thermal Heating Process
- Dr Pedro de Sousa Santos, Senior Project Leader, TWI Ltd, on Linear Friction Welding of Structures for Near-Net Shape Manufacturing
- Jonathan Martin, Friction Stir Welding Technical Manager, TWI Ltd, on Friction Stir Welding of Titanium Alloys

MEET THE SPEAKERS
Dr David Howse
Quality Control for Arc Welding of Titanium Alloys
David has worked in Welding Engineering for over 30 years. In that time, he has gained wide experience in developing arc welding processes for a range of material types, including applications that required the development of welding parameters for titanium alloys.
Luke Keane
Weld Purging for Zero Colour Welds
Luke has been with the company for the last 12 years and in that time progressed to become a company Director, looking after the 45 exclusive world-wide distributors.
Over the last 12 years Luke has been heavily involved in product development, helping to design bespoke solutions and take HFT innovation to the next level. More recently, he has been working very closely with a nuclear client involved with HPC and designed a unique blocking and purging system for the welding of duplex sump boxes.
Tracey Holmes
Unlocking Potential: Industrial Applications of Titanium and its Alloys
A metallurgist by education, Tracey has 15 years of experience in the metals industry. Her early career was focused on nickel-based alloys. Since joining BIBUS Metals in 2018, her horizons have broadened to include titanium and its alloys and specialised stainless steel grades.
Dr Pedro de Sousa Santos
Linear Friction Welding of Structures for Near-Net Shape Manufacturing
Dr Pedro de Sousa Santos is a Senior Project Engineer at Friction Welding and Processing section at TWI Ltd. His work focuses on the development of friction-based welding technologies, predominantly for the aerospace and space sectors. Pedro’s PhD research, co-funded by TWI Ltd Industrial Members and Coventry University, addressed the development of the refill friction stir spot welding process for lightweight aerospace applications. He is also affiliated with the Engineering Council and The Welding Institute and is an active STEM ambassador.
Jonathan Martin
Friction Stir Welding of Titanium Alloys
Jonathan Martin is the Friction Stir Welding Technology Manager at TWI Ltd and a Fellow of the Welding Institute. He joined TWI Ltd in 2005 and has more than 20 years’ of experience in Friction Stir Welding activities. A metallurgist by training but over the years has gained experience in all aspects of FSW including participating in FSW standard working groups, developing FSW training courses and delivering engineering solutions across the world. Currently Chair of IIW C-III-B-WG-B6, ISO Standard for Friction Stir Welding of Steel. Since 2008, he has run the International Symposium on Friction Stir Welding and has published/presented over 40 scientific research reports and papers.
Paul Brooker
Joining of Titanium using Thermal Heating Process
Paul has been involved in the manufacture and the joining of materials using a thermal process for over 40 years. With his knowledge through hands on experience, he has been developing vacuum brazing of titanium both in the commercial and R&D marketplace.
