This is what one of my ventures has done overseas in the past and on a bad day. Honestly no one is getting awards for that weld, but this is a production model not a show-piece. That's seamless 1.0mm gr2 Ti with CNC machined billet 8mm thick flanges. Before we built a rotisserie it takes a welder 3 hours to do those 4 welds due to encapsulated argon gas.
to be honest, that weld didnt look too bad from the picture. I might be able to find something once i look at the part in person. but not that bad.

at least it looks much better than that HKS exahust with a hole that someone else posted a week ago.
