Argon well

[timan]

Did a little experimenting with welding the end of stranded titanium cable. The idea was to weld all strands together in one shot. Getting a good argon shield was a problem.
I solved it by simply drilling a hole to fit the cable in a small bottle stopper and then slipping the cable tip inside. That made a well to hold the argon. A nice clean weld.
