Welding a crankshaft rod journal. 

Your are a skilled man blayt

Bartholomew Horatio Brunel maybe for you. I could weld that by hand and it would be just fine. 7018 stick rod or TIG with ER-70S-6. I have a welding positioner but I could weld that without using the positioner.

hey tdej80, i have this worn out suzuki samurai crank shaft (journal #1 is about 1mm both sides gone)... i have my TIG... can i build up this thing using the filler you mentioned?

Tsurtz Hill I am not familiar with that crank. If it is forged steel 7018 or ER-70S-6 will work. If it is cast iron you will need 99 nickel rod or the machinable muggy weld or crown alloy T-220. The T-220 would work well on a forged crank because it will be harder and stronger than the steel filler metal selections. Cast or forged you will want to pre-heat. If you get back to me with some more info I will do my best to point you in the right direction.

please forgive my oversight it could be cast steel also.

Thanks a lot tdej80 for the info... I will, if ever I decide to do it. -Have a nice day

Typically you can't DIY that, you need to take your crank to an automotive machine shop with the right equipment.

Non grinding. Crankshaft and polishing

Slag removal

Skeets K its poured so that air oxygen doesnt attack the hot metal

Well I just learned some thing,,thank you

though it looks like sand it is actually flux...980 flux with a mild steel wire is what I use on a Gleason m1 machine...

Its called submerged arc welding or S.A.W. proccess. The sand is actually flux covering the wire being applied

it's the same as the flux that is covering the welding rod

@@leosnake Great! If you interested in repairing a crankshaft for me can you give me a price? It needs one rod throw welded and I believe the others just need polishing.
