@tartssavage8551 3 года назад

Love the sound effects and impressions haha, you guys are just awesome. Here in scandinavia how i've been taught to repair cast iron is to use a remote control and cold stick weld it using super small sticks. We use a remote control for most stick welding anyway so it isn't a big deal, what we do is weld small 1/2 inch welds with small electrodes on super small heat and let it cool off between welds, that works really good aswell. Can't wait to get a chance to try your method out!

@LoneWolf051 4 года назад

Now remember that cast iron absorbs things, oils, chemicals ect....you go to use this over high heat, you'll be cooking the microscopic cleaning chemicals into your food. best way to clean iron is to bake it in the oven or in a fireplace for an our or so till all the seasoning comes off, then use sandpaper and salt with warm water to get the rest off, then weld what you need...then begin the re-seasoning process ie. grapeseed oil or olive oil over high heat in the oven for an hour, clean with lint-free rag (never paper towel) then repeat again till the black seasoning is rebuilt

@chrisfoxwell4128 4 года назад

It's not likely any of the chemicals would survive 500°F. After this process it would have to be seasoned and 500° or more is best to do that.

@ml.2770 4 года назад

Microscopic cleaning chemicals. Lol. Just wash it. Microscopic harm.

@williampetersen9932 4 года назад

The non chlorinated cleaner is all organic volatile solvents, the weld heat alone would have boiled and or combusted everything that didn't evaporate seconds after being sprayed.

@markluxton3402 4 года назад

Not olive oil! Low heat oil will not last. You need a polymerizing oil like grape seed, flax seed, organic bacon fat. I too have used the inside of my wood stove, full of coals, to burn off the seasoning. Risky thing to do. If after all your cleaning the pan is gray, it is clean. Last time in water, dry very fast, or it will flash rust. It may be better to use an acid bath for some folk, to remove the seasoning.

Good work Jason, I had not thought you could Tig cast iron so successfully.. I have fixed a broken vice using cast 90 rods and it worked very well. Preheated with tiger torch and used digital heat sensor for temp, then after welding let it cool down over night on the wood stove over night as the stove went out. It also worked very well. Not sure it Tig on a vice would be strong enough.

@maxcactus7 4 года назад

Great video, Jason, thank you! Could you explain they whys, advantages & disadvantages of using nickel vs. silicon bronze as filler? Is one stronger than the other? Does one filler require significantly more or less heat to braze?

@GodslilRedneck23 4 года назад

Throckmorton by definition brazing will take less heat to achieve than welding brazing occurs around 840° whereas welding will occur in the 1,000°’s depending on the alloy. Brazing with silicon bronze will work as well. This is just my preferred method because of the success I’ve had using this process.

@melgross 4 года назад

Using bronze in a brazing technique is very common because it’s easier, and somewhat cheaper. But it’s not as strong as this. Sometimes that doesn’t matter. In addition heat affects grazing more than welding. If a brazed part gets really hot, it can come apart, though that’s unusual, but it will lose strength.

@hillbullymetalco 4 года назад

On cast that is subject to high temps like manifolds or in this case a cast iron skillet, there is a good chance that the weld will melt right out of the joint if you use silicon bronze. The nickel will hold up to the temps.

I have done similar to this in the past with one exception, my Father taught me how to do Cast Iron welding with Stick, not TIG as you have shown here although I have removed the Flux form Electrodes to use with TIG as you have shown here. Preheat and Postheat was essential for a good weld with stick. Question. I was taught to peen the hot weld as you worked along the repair, so would that perhaps be applicable in this process using TIG as method? Thanks for your Video's from John, Australia. PS: Always done at Low Amps with Stick.

@carpespasm 4 года назад

I did very similar months back with a cast iron griddle handle that broke off with a cheapo flux-core mig welder, a bin of sand, and a mapp gas torch. I also peened the weld before putting it in the sand after welding, don't know i that helped any, but it's held up just dandy, and when i've tried cold welding or minimally preheating and annealing cast iron welds before it's always a brittle mess. Glad to see my method was on the right track.

@ianbertenshaw4350 4 года назад

I can do a cartman impersonation as well - sad thing is i look like him as well ! My mate is the living representation of homer simpson - and he hates it when i mention it ! If you need to clean of fat or cooking oil a caustic based oven cleaner or degreaser will do better than brake cleaner which is better for petrolium based grease or oils. I noticed you used a cutting tool rather than a grinding stone to stop any graphite smearing which can be a pia when tig or oxy welding cast iron . I have used stainless to weld cast iron and spring steel before with success as it doesn't pick up the carbon which is essentially what the high nickel content in those rods is there for . Thanks for another fantastic video man ! 👍

@AldoSchmedack 4 года назад

ian bertenshaw Any suggestion as to which TIG rod to use? How much nickel do you need in the rod? 55, 99, etc? TY for info on caustics. I learned something good this morning!

@AldoSchmedack 4 года назад

ian bertenshaw Oh and what caustic do you suggest?

@ianbertenshaw4350 4 года назад

AldoSchmedack Oven or BBQ cleaner, if it says on the can not suitable for aluminium or corrosive it most likely contains alkaline salts or caustic soda .There has been a maked shift away from these cleaners in general because they can burn your skin and eyes . The newer stuff doesn’t work as well but is much safer to use and to acquire . The best thing to do when choosing a welding wire is to check out the manufacturers website as they generally make good recommendations on which wire to use on different materials - they make the stuff and know exactly what material they made it for !

Does this technique work ?? for high temperatures and pressure vessels like cylinder heads for fixing spark plug/ injector holes or valve guides and seats

@colsoncustoms8994 4 года назад

I had to repair a broken cast bench vise recently. I actually used pieces of high carbon steel (scrap 3/8" 80crv2) and 3/32" 7018 rods and it has held up really well, think it's actually stronger now than it was before. I wonder if the higher carbon steel plays well with the cast iron since they both have more carbon than mild steel, may cool / distort at similar rates or something. I heat soaked the poop out of it while I welded and went back and ran extra beads tying back onto both the cast iron and the high carbon steel.

@etprecisionmachine2379 4 года назад

Pre-heating the cast iron is one of the keys to successful welds on cast iron. I often need to weld fairly large and complex pieces that won't fit in a typical propane fired pre-heating accessory. So I use ceramic wool, the stuff that is used in kilns, to make custom wrap around ovens . I pace the casting on either the ceramic wool, which is about an inch and a half thick, or on fire brick. Then I heat the casting with a portable propane pre-heater. Harbor Freight sells them but they call them weed burners. Marketing. Makes 'em cheaper though. I heat to at least 350 degrees, usually hotter though, but not glowing hot. Then I cover the casting with the ceramic wool except for the weld zone. After welding the casting it is covered completely and left alone to cool. This method has always worked for me. A word of caution about the ceramic wool: it is best not to breathe the dust generated from rough handling. So use common sense handling the stuff and wear a dust mask or respirator if necessary.

Exactly.. I have always avoided by nickel stick electrodes as the weld deposit looks like crap and is brittle.. Never thought of TIG, but while it seems to look a bit better, it still did not seem to wet out very well.. MIG or TIG brazing has always been my go -to for cast iron: easy and wets out nicely, can give a smooth deposit if you are careful and the repair is IMO stronger and more impact resistant than nickel.. Cosmetically, you can also blacken the braze seam to match the surrounding cast iron fairly easily, whereas nickel always leaves a shiny seam..

@geoffmooregm 4 года назад

Yes and no. Cast aluminum it typically easily welded. Usually contamination is the challenge. Post weld cracking is not an issue with cast aluminumn like it can be with cast iron. However a lot of larger aluminum parts will absorb heat from the weld pool rapidly and you can get cold start weld defects.

Were you melting the base metal or was this more of a braze? If the base metal was melting and forming a puddle are you looking for a lot of dilution with the filler, does that filler tend to crack without base metal dilution?

@MakeItWithCalvin 4 года назад

I am curious if you had any issues with slag buildup due to all the "trash elements" in cast iron. I have done a tig braze job on a car exhaust system that was cast and it was not pretty but good pre/post heat means that a few years later it be holding up!

@GodslilRedneck23 4 года назад

No slag at all due to the fact that there is. I flux being used. There is a bit of reaction from the base metal though. You can hear it in the arc shots if you listen close.
