Clean up on this ring will be night and day compared to using a torch! And if there was an opal (or really, just about any type of stone set in this ring), using a torch you would first have to remove the opal and hope you don't break it when removing or resetting it. The applications and possibilities are amazing!
In clock repair there are many times where it would be great to replace steel particularly on escape pallets. Would your equipment do this and what filler material could be used that could be hardened, tempered and polished. Thanks James
Hello Jim, Thank you for your message. The Orion pulse arc welding systems can easily accomplish the application of adding metal to small metal parts. I would recommend the Orion 150S or the Orion 200i. Here are a few links to the product pages. sunstonewelders.com/product/orion-i-series/ sunstonewelders.com/product/orion-s-series-150s/ As for what type of filler material, it would depend on what metal you are working with. The process is TIG welding, and therefore more filler metals that are used for similar applications in traditional TIG welding would be acceptable for use with the Orion. Matching the base metal is the most desirable, as this will ensure compatibility with existing metal.
Recently, I talked withJason(?) re: welding Plat. HE said that one of his connections said the, because PLAT LOVES HEAT, run the power up to 80 or above! Stones may not be able to handle it BUT if a sizing is done at these power levels, there will be no 'weak spots' that might break during bending.
You are correct. In the video we were showing the process in whole, and it does take a little longer. If you are well practiced and good at polishing, there would be a significant advantage to this process. No pickling, No fire, and real material the same as the base metal, not solder. No removing stones, or messing with intricate designs. The process itself may take a bit longer, but the whole job is significantly less time and work.
