The objective of this paper was to investigate the welding characteristics according to the restraint condition. the pass number, and the shield gas quantity with titanium commonly using in power stations, aircrafts, ships, and so forth. The residual stress distribution was measured under restraint and nonrestraint welding conditions. The tensile strength and elongation of the 4 pass welded specimen were shown higher about 10% and 30% than those of the 7 pass welded specimen at the same welding conditions respectably. Also, the more shield gas quantity and the shorter natural cooling time, the higher tensile strength and the lower elongation.
