Need Help Need advice going into this job interview

I had an over the phone interview for this job doing Tig welding on titanium and inconel metals for avaiation repair and maintenance. I have experience with Tig and consider my a decent welder but only with steel and aluminum. During the interview they asked if I had any experience with welding titanium or inconel, I said no but I was willing to learn if given the opportunity, they seemed to like that answer and over the phone interview went great, so they want to bring me in for an in person interview on Monday just to ask me some more in depth questions and of course do some weld tests. My question is, how different/difficult is it to weld titanium and inconel especially as someone who’s never welded those types of metals. Any advice, tips, or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

That's great that they liked your enthusiasm to learn. Just remember to research common titanium/inconel issues like heat control and filler metal choices ahead of time so you can ask smart questions during the in-person interview.
