MIG Brazing Made Easy With This ???? 

At age 93 and going to age 94 I am starting to forget my 1950s engineering lessons, I believe I better get back to my old 1950s textbooks again to refresh my memory. Old age sure gets to you from time to time. But I miss the hydrogen arc welding and including the argon arc welding known as argon plasma welding in the nuclear submarine naval yards in the Arctic during the Cold War years!

Neat piece of footage. Welding - Fusion Brazing - Adhesion Capilliary action - The ability to flow. 43 years, man and boy. Now, 3.2 Snr W.I. iEng.

First video I've watched of yours. Found it looking for more info on Silicon Bronze. Thanks for the info especially showing the difference between push and pull with this wire. I've been watching a fair amount of welding videos since I'm setting up a welding area at home. This was definitely informative and entertaining.

Hahaha I love how your slowly getting more gold as the video goes on 😂

You're all right man. Thanks a bunch for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for sharing the info. Very helpful.

Cool and a must try with my everlast mig welder.

silicon bronze tig is the way to go ..

Great video always enjoy your content.

I’m very much an amateur trainee weekend warrior, think of the lowest level welder and I’m the guy below it. I was generally looking at brazing brass to steel in my knife handles. My welder will braze using CuSi3 but a 0.45 kg spool is £35 where standard MIG wire is £20 for 5kg, that’s over £66 a kilo more. I also have a feeling I get less out than of the wire as well. I think for now, with my knifesmithing, I’ll stick to gas brazing which for a welder of my grade is fun. That takes absolutely nothing away from a very informative, well presented video. Thank you.

That's pretty cool. I've got to give this a try on my everlast mig welder. I've got to give tig brazing a try as well.

Currently restoring a chevelle with ALL the original seam sealer removed, using SB to join / fill everything. Beauty!

Chris, I’m trying to use a Miller 140, spool gun, 100% Argon at 32 CFH, SUA brand ERCuSi-A .030” wire, volt setting 3, wire speed 60, .045” gap, open root butt joint to Mig Braze late model GM 20-22 ga fender flares and quarter panels. I really liked how you brazed that open root butt joint in “spot mode”. I noticed you had the gun pointed up by about 15 degrees and walked the spots down from the top. You didn’t mention what gauge the metal was. My first attempt at brazing my thin metal looks like crap. There was no hint of capillary action (virtually no bead on back side), the gap closed up to zero on the far end even though it was tacked, and the wire usually burned back very quickly leaving a big glob on the end of the stub of wire! Plus, the metal was warped as bad as if I had welded it, but the base metal was not melted. I’m fit to be tied! Any suggestions?

Coming here after my I-Car instructor told me about bronze-silicone wire. Seems like there's a lot more to learn before I even attempt to use this stuff.

Crazy. Wouldn’t think you need shielding gas. Thankx for the videos. Jus came across your channel got a lot of catching up to do.

crazy. i like it

Nice one, you should make a video on the arc of the 2200. Mine feels and sounds so smooth like spray transfer smooth no matter what the setting or material. Tested it against my Everlast and that's when I really noticed how different it's arc was in sound, feel,and it's arc gives off a orangeish hew instead of blue.

You pointed out use of special tapered nozzle for shielding gas but I didn’t catch any explanation as to why it was used vs standard nozzle. Can you elaborate? Thanks.

Thanks for the videos on the Fronius line up, great reference tools. Is it necessary to use the Teflon liner for either of these wire types?

Thanks! Could you do a video with troubleshooting. Like using too high or low voltage or speed. I have a pro series Schumacher with .023 silicon bronze and I would love to just see what I’m doing right and wrong.

Nice video, I have been playing with silicon bronze tig brazing and have fount it to be really temperamental at least for me, I am going to go buy a couple small rolls of silicon.amd aluminum bronze for my mig to see if I can do any better with that machine, unfortunately my welder doesn't give me the option for the specialty wore itself so I will have to play around a little to try and find a setting that works. What polarity are you set up with when mig brazing? That in itself should get me started off in the right direction. Thanks for the video, interesting and helpful.

Is there a mig brazing flux core? I have little experience on welding

For vehicles, see the Project Farm RU-vid videos for maintenance tips. Car body brazing is more rust resistant, especially if you spray Fluid Film on the inside and under the panels every fall, and inside door panels every few years. There is a video about melting vaseline (petroleum jelly) for a thicker coating where mud or salt spray might wash away oil. Do not use Fluid Film for door gaskets- I use Mothers VLR spray instead, with a good smell for interiors. The Carsthatlast series on RU-vid is good for choosing which vehicles are reliable enough to be worth it for rust repairs.

I can't wait to try the silicon bronze on my 2200, ordered some hope it comes soon.Chris, on the 2200 is the metal core setting for dual shield? there is a setting for self shield and rutil 71t .the fluxcore wire I have is e71t wire so do I run it on the self shielded setting or the rutil 71t ? In short what wire do I run on what setting? thanks, love my 2200 on stick it is so smooth I think smoother than my transpocket 180.

Great info, thanks! Now where do you buy the aluminum bronze (CUAL-2) ?

Why you did't show the finally on overlay of ss plate after finishing the work.Is it shine like gold or shine like stainless steel?

A better definition for welding would be the heating and melting of two peices of equal or similar composition together and letting them cool together allowing fusion, with or without the use of a filler of equal or similar composition. This covers welding with metal and plastic. But funnily enough, also means that if you pissed into a crack in a frozen lake and the two sides of the crack froze together because of the piss, you are welding. Brazing refers to soldering specifically with a copper/ zinc allow at high temperatures. The temperature difference is what separates it from soldering. You can't braze with a soldering torch/iron, but you can definitely solder with a brazing torch.

I started to notice more bling on the presenter every cut scene, reconed he was going to be fully gold coated like C3P0 from star wars by the end of the video 🙂

If you were going to fabricate a bike rack (for luggage not to hold the bike) would you braze the rack together or weld it? Material like chrome-moly steel.

Would a miller be able to run CUSI on steel setting? Dont have specific CUSI setting...

How about copper sheet to steel sheet (copper 2x steel thickness)? Have auto body idea for rust out dog legs and wheel arches to SiB sheet copper patches. The copper will last a lot longer than steel.

Enjoyed the video. Would you happen to know the settings for esab rebel 215ic running 220v? I'm trying to braze rough joints on 20 guage sheet metal.

After 3 yrs, how you like that Fronius? Im learning to weld and I’m looking to buy one. Thanks

Hi, i have a question, can i use this CuSi3 on body repair with a semiprofesional welding machine? I have a Stahlwerk MIG 200 st IGBT. I want just to weld and repair small elements of body and dont get rust on welding, Thank you!

Can I use 75/25 mix or do I need 100% argon?

CAN YOU DO THIS WITH THE 2700MV MACHINE AS WELL?

At the beginning of your video you mig silicon bronze with a taper nozzle can you send me a link where you can purchase this nozzle

In the 1950s I have read a book printed way back in the 1930s and 1920s that says silicone bronze alloy wires were used as telegraph wires for they are virtually unbreakable. I wonder why that knowledge is not printed in today's western engineering textbooks when all engineers should know about this alloy's other uses besides being used as a brazing filler material.

Dadgum, it even welds enamel. Hope that didn't require a pre heat.

Can this be used for replacing a quarterpanel?

Could you use aluminium bronze on 3003 aluminum??

Can this be used to weld brass to iron and brass to brass

thanks for the cool n informative video! Jest one question; why do u say brazing is best for galvanized steel?

Help! Is this DCEN or DCEP??

Chris , I have tried the silicon bronze with my 2200, it seems okay , but I got more splatter than I thought I should. I used DCEP 035 on 1/8 in mild steel with mild mill scale. What do I need to do/set to get no splatter like you. I was at 300 fps 16.5 volts (gas at 25cf) and also on synergic for 125 thou. thanks for your reply in advance

dude is riff raff's lil brother lol

No comments on your attempt to turn yourself into MR T.

Hello, I have enjoyed your videos. My question: Where can I get the Gas Nozzle you used in this video? Machine: Transsteel 2200 Gun: MTG 320i US-Style Ergonomic Handle I live in Canada... Fronius Canada Ltd is telling me that a Tappered version is not available. Baker Gas does sell one... Fronius Tapered Gas Nozzle for MTG 320i MIG Gun - 4403502108 Love the system, but finding information, or accessories is a bugger. Any help would be appreciated. Rob

Part way through: I think there would be less confusion here (and we're here to become less confused, right?) if our host didn't keep SAYING "weld" where it is meant "braze", "join", or "bronze-weld". If I am teaching this to a group of beginners, I might not say "bronze-weld" even if it's right, because it's confusing! There's NO WELDING going on here today! Base metal is NOT MELTED, the original edges of the base materials can still be found. Not a weld!

hi mate do you have facebook or ig

ban this type welding be done with a 180 lincoln mig welder

You may want to normalize your audio level. Your audio is really loud when you do your voiceover in comparison to when you're speaking on camera, and it is pretty jarring to the headphone user.
