In this video, we'll be repairing an exhaust manifold crack using MIG brazing with silicon bronze filler metal. This is a difficult repair, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be done. First thing I do when I receive a part is inspect it before I began the repair process. Follow along as I show you how I repaired this manifold. Silicon bronze filler metal is an excellent choice for cast iron manifolds and works great with oxy fuel, TIG or MIG applications.

Like a few others back in 1976 I had to weld one of the ports on an exhaust manifold on a V6 engine 74 Mercury Capri. I had guidance from a neighbor on doing pretty much same process. I got very lucky that the manifold did not warp. I did bolt the manifold down to a have half inch plate steel. And I welded it with a stick welder. I don’t remember what stick I used.

@BrandonLund Год назад

Probably nickle....I was toying back and forth but switched to bronze once I realized how thin the casting was.

@BrandonLund Год назад

I wish I would have mentioned this in the video. Sometimes I will bolt the part down depending on the process I'm using and I was considering it at first for this. I didn't in this case because I was concerned with the casting being so thin that the plate would act as a heat sink and draw out the heat too much and too quickly causing a possible brittle situation. It's hard to work through this stuff beforehand. Sometimes even the best setup and planning can still end up in a disaster LOL

A small galvanized stock tank or feeder trough from a farm supply store ought to be a better container than the Rubbermaid tote...easier to reach in, and hold a larger part without angling. Yes, more sand needed, but it's there waiting for the next job. Great job, Brandon!!

@papatonysworkshop6584 Год назад

Great repair. I found your channel a few years back when looking for a way to fix the manifold on my 48 John Deere. I ordered rods from Muggy weld. I didn't have the success you did. Mostly because I think I went too fast with the weld, and I took too much material away when beveling the cracked area. Anyway, Thanks for another great presentation!!

@BrandonLund Год назад

I appreciate that man! Interesting enough, when the customer reached out to me, that was my plan, to use the Muggy Weld rods. Once I received the part and saw how thin and burnt the casting was, I knew the Muggy Weld was going to be too much for this part so I went with Silicon Bronze. I also could have oxy fuel brazed this but I was concerned again with a lot of heat input messing with the grain structure in the burnt section so I went for ol' faithful and MIG brazed it. It didn't put a ton of heat in and it should be a good repair but with cast iron, time will tell. It could last 10 years or it could last 10 days.

@BrandonLund 11 месяцев назад

@woodturnermark8529 11 месяцев назад

Brandon, nice repair but something to be aware of, older manifolds that were used on gas engines that had burned leaded gas can retain the lead in the pores of the cast iron and then come out during the repair, preheating ,welding etc, also any burns to the skin while reworking are very dangerous as the lead can enter the burned skin area and can create serious lead poisoning.

@BrandonLund 11 месяцев назад

Great point 👍

@johnwoody4905 Год назад

good video and job i have used high nickel rod before and it has held up did much the same as you put case iron in oven got it to 450f welded it and put it back in oven at 450f for 6 hour and slowly turn down oven next 6 hours. that was years ago i am sure your way is better. take care be safe and well.

@BrandonLund Год назад

Thanks man. I'm acutally going to build myself a forge very soon specifically for doing these types of repairs. A gas grill works great but I'm going to design it so it's lined with fire brick so it retains it's heat much better than a grill.

@marcelknippers9591 Год назад

Such a simple crack but what a complex matter to avoid the stress-prevention. This is done with silk/churchical hands. Interesting to learn the meaning of drilling holes. New to me😁. I loved to watch this masterly repair. Thanks for making us better🤓. Greetz from Holland, Marcel Knippers😀Ps I used to repair these with CUSI3 and Argon. Maybe this is the EU-comparison? To avoid cracks is the most difficult and I don't have a B&B😅.

Thanks Marcel I appreciate it! I looked at that wire, it seems very close to what I used here. They are both copper based.

@seansysig Год назад

Nice repair. FYI if you use a needle scaler softly over the weld you can mimic the unevenness of the cast iron.

@BrandonLund Год назад

I thought about that but I was worried it might shatter it like a china doll LOL

@Dennis-uc2gm Год назад

Nice repair. I've had some limited success with cast iron repair using a preheat method. I figure it's "broke" anyway why not try. I never though of using the fiberglass blanket as a heat retention insulator. I mostly just use it to keep other thing from catching on fire. 👍

@BrandonLund Год назад

Thanks man and as an added bonus the blanket doesn't retain moisture like sand can so it acts as a barrier between the part and the sand.

@twistedhillbilly6157 Год назад

Looks like a rear dump off a small block.. I threw a set away a few years ago.. Center dumps were considered better.. Amazing how much trouble and how many extra steps it takes when you don't have any JB Weld handy... As thin as that is, I'm still nervous,, I'd like to see it a year.. the ceramic should prevent further rust for quite a while but the vibration will always be a concern.. My thoughts were, drill the holes, grind the valley to increase surface bite, and pray,, You did a lot more than that.. I hope the customer has something to be proud of when his project is complete.. GREAT JOB!!

@BrandonLund Год назад

Thanks man. Yah it was thin...im not surprised it cracked because the other areas weren't as thin so it seemed to crack in the thinner area that was more heat effected. I hope it lasts him many years but with cast iron you never know. Saying a prayer is always in the works.

@BrandonLund Год назад

Og we definately need a little luck on our side when working with cast iron. Depending on when it was made and what went in it can drastically effect the outcome. Generally the newer stuff in my opinion is easier to work with compared to some of the older stuff, especially if it's really burnt.

@bazkeen Год назад

Have had a lot of success using Silicon bronze on cast iron. Only thing that I would do do is peen it every half inch or so. Helps to reduce any stress. The fact that you are brazing it, it shouldn't be as big a deal. Nice job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@BrandonLund Год назад

@MBwelding 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried a needle scaler to blend the grinding marks in a little more I have used it on other things but not cast iron yet not sure if the surface would be too hard but it works on ar plate so I would think it should not really 100% on the hardness levels of both those to know for sure though

Thanks for another informative very educational video Brandon Lund DIY Builds. I was interested that chose to use the Yeswelder YWM-211P for making this video. I have been eyeing this model as a possible addition to my welding equipment. Curious,... did you use any of the MiG pulse or double pulse settings available for welding thin material using silicon/bronze for this repair? I am looking for a MIG machine that is capable of all materials. Please let me know your assessment of the YWM 211p for an all around shop MIG machine.

@BrandonLund Год назад

Thanks man. No I did not use any pulse settings but I really like this welder. I used it exclusive to weld all the aluminum for my cargo trailer cabinets and fell in love with it. I've got a lot of aluminum presets stored but I haven't used it much on steel. It's a nice machine.

@scrapmanindustries 8 месяцев назад

What wire feed speed were you using? I tried messing with .030 wire at 365wfs and like 25 amps. It seems kinda off. It held on my John Deere engine material but there’s a log stove shaker plate I also tried to repair and can not seem to get anything to stick to the one side. Tried 7018 first. 309L and then mig braze. All failed to hold.

@BrandonLund 8 месяцев назад

I dont remember what i finally settled on. I run it same as hardwire. Your issue could be white cast iron which in that case is nearly impossible to weld.

@scrapmanindustries 8 месяцев назад

@@BrandonLund it’s almost like it was made of copper or something. I when I tried the 7018 the weld actually stuck a bit to the table and when I moved the cast iron the weld stood alone. It was pretty strange. I guess the guys getting a new price and told me to scrap that one but it was an experience. Now I just gotta pull my engine out and get the hole fixed.

@allenhafner7795 Wrong on both. Peining doesn't stress relief. Thats a myth. Peining elongates the filler metal to add compressive stress into the weldment.
