SNS 300: Spray Welding a Blower Shaft

Pretty crazy we've made it to 300 episodes! It's been great bringing you a weekly video for so long to share not only work but activities around the shop I get into. Lets hope we can keep this going!
This week's episode to share with you a shaft that was sent to me to be repaired using my Eutectic spray welding process. The shaft had a badly worn bearing journal. Metalizing is a great way to repair shaft fits like these and save the customer money and time.

[@patw999]

The company I work for we sent out equipment parts to "professional renewal shops" and have never had a piece come back anywhere near as nice as that one you just did. That's the difference in a big company and a man who takes pride in his work. Be proud in your work sir because it is beautiful...

[@dogzebra2708]

I was hired on to a factory back in the early 1990's. They gave me the job because I was the only applicant who could spray weld. I ended up spending six years sitting on a chair spraying finger sized casting to harden them. When I took the job I was given a coffee can full of the clips to demonstrate my ability. I didn't know there was a warehouse full of 55 gallons drums of the exact same clips to be sprayed.

Working in a machine shop in the early 80's, I watched this process being done. I was awestruck by this. It saved the customer a ton of cash. Thanks, I haven't seen this process being done since then. Great job.

[@beckster181]

Back in the late 1970's the Aussie army was using this method to repair worm drive sprockets on M113 APCs and the finished repair was harder and wore better than the brand new replacement parts. If i remember the repaired parts would last 3 times the brand new ones this was because they were able to put a harder build up on the wear area of the sprocket to the cast hardness

[@len814]

Also the spray material has micro pockets that hold oil better

[@paulhickey4485]

I doubt it was the cold process as shown here. The application you describe may have been a fusion process which looks similar to this.

[@randalltufts3321]

@@paulhickey4485 same process basically. But uses a wet oil fed quenching clamp with hardening oil on it . Spray weld , then immediately apply the clamp on just the area that needs hardened on the shafts or race areas. Saw this done at rayethon before on sealed drive motor systems in the 90s that were used in areas that were very inaccessible, high heat or that needed extreme long life intervals, (years) between servicing. New build process. Not repair like this as far as I know. But may have been used for rebuilding.

Hi, I am a retired Eutectic Sales Manager. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and it brought back a lot of memories, especially the one's where I trained engineers in Africa on the benefit's of investing in this technology. We live in a throw away world, and when we see a worn part it's easy to go and buy a new one. Invariably, the part that's worn only represents 5% of the total part, so we are actually throwing away our own money! It really is a simple piece of kit to use, and like you say, just follow the instructions. Glad to see someone still using the Rototec system.

[@smithderf]

Love that this type of repair is carried on by displaying it on KZbin. Techniques like this used by industrial craftsmen of the past are being lost in today's service oriented throw away society.

Working for Otis Elevator as a Service Manager in Richmond VA my repair crews would encounter a galled shaft on a worm gear shaft or other shaft. Due to maybe a failed bearing on very old elevator. Our vendor machine shops could spray weld the shaft then turn it beck to original diameter. This was in the mid to late 60’s . We had wonderful machine shop vendors who could fix just about anything made of steel or bronze. Great video .

Back in the late 40's my grand fathr started a business of metalizing ceramic lamp bodies. He would cover um with zinc, and then use stainless steel spool wire or brass and spray it on the ceramic lamps. He then had to buff smoth all the roughness that came from the spraying process. They used flint buffing wheels. I was a kid but still remember when they got zinc poisonings really bad. they recovered!

Thank you for taking me back down memory lane. I sprayed thousands of parts back in the seventies. Started off at 18 as a sandblaster. Worked my way up to metalizing, thermospraying and then to plasma spraying. I enjoyed those years working in that machine shop.

[@ricklee4]

Very good video! Back in the 1990s I had a 3" or 4" by about four foot long shaft repaired by spray weld, as far as I know it is still running 40 years later. It was a large blower fan (60 HP or larger) on an air handler, first we had some vibration, than it became a rumble and then we found the culprit. The worn shaft was spinning in the bearing. A new shaft would have been a lot more cost than the repair was and we also replaced the bearings.

[@burkslaw1627]

Between my time as: a Fabrication and Repair Machinist in the Army, Tool Maker Apprentice, External Crankshaft Grinder, Kearney & Trecker Milling and Grinding Machine Rebuilder Machinist, Deburring/Parts Finisher, Tool Room Machinist and Parts / Production Machinist I can run and do everything he can except Spay Weld. But I can also run CNC and older Automatic Screw Machines and Tape Operated Machines. It gets tough when you have to switch back and forth between old and new machines because of differences in the lines of code language used and the different codes as well. I can Mig, Tig and Heil-Arc weld, Silver Solder and Braze as well. I started running Sunnen Hones, Natco Multi-Spindle, Radial Arm and regular Drill Presses, Engine Lathes, Surface Grinders and Air Grinders part time back in 1969, while in HS. Shapers and all the other machines on and off until 2017. Good thing I'm retired or someone here would want me to fix something for them. This man is very good at what he does using old school machines. there is a lot more to do when using these things and many things come with experience and "touchy-feely" adjusting and correction skills learned.

In the 1950s I was a 17 year old machinist mate in the after engineroom of the USS Kearsarge, CVA33, an Essex class aircraft carrier. Because I was rated (schooled), I was allowed access to the ship’s machine shop where I developed skills with a lathe and even a shaper. All the guys in this compartment were old salts and mostly interested in lounging and drinking coffee, but I loved making things here when I was not on duty in the engineroom. I began getting jobs making aircraft parts and things for the two galleys. Loved it all. I used many of these skills later when I became a jeweler. You seem like me in the sense you obviously love and enjoy your work. I was NEVER close to being as good as you, though. Thanks for the channel.

[@peterpaton1164]

Hi, really enjoy watching your videos here in Scotland! Hope you don't mind me making a couple of comments - I worked for Castolin Eutectic for 30+ years and trained oxy fuel thermal spray system users. First observation relates to use of screw threading for preparation - I have never used this as a prep method for a couple of reasons. The potential benefit of screw threading is to increase the effective surface area available for the coating, but there are some factors that can limit this effectiveness. 1. unless the threading is done correctly (ie. rounded tip and root profiles) there is a risk of heat oxidising the tips of the threads which will reduce or prevent effective adhesion of the bond coat. 2. If the thread pitch is too narrow in the root there may be voids, again reducing the effective area available for adhesion. 3. Threading preparation normally omits what for me is another vital step (which may answer questions raised by some of your other viewers regarding causes of coatings shelling) - oxidation forming during the preheat stage. One of the key reasons for coating failure at the initial stage in my experience is applying bond coat on top of a surface that became oxidised during preheat. This is normally indicated by surface discolouration, usually evidenced immediately on applying heat. This is diffucult to see on a screw threaded surface, but becomes very visible if alternative preparation methods are used. So, I normally advise preheating, then final preparation. This is easier to do if it is possible to a, grit blast or b. random grind with a small grinder (with a clean disk). Step b. is usually easier since the initial set up of the part doesn't need to be disturbed. The clean, random ground surface is ideal for applying the bond coat to - but preheat, final light grind back to clean metal and immediately apply the bond coat. It would be worth trying this method, what you should see on applying heat is the formation of a brown discolouration on the surface - coating on top of this (as is likely happening) is most likely compromising the coating bond effectiveness. Just give a final light grind back to bright metal and proceed from there. Hope this helps!

[@316tomiller]

If I recall correctly,we were told. To use a 90 degree too tip to cut the thread so that the root and crest of the threads were broad, and were therefore more resistant to overheating.

That was so much fun learning to use all the machines in the shop and new projects to figure out and work on every day almost. The old guy was a master at it and a hoot to work with. I moved on and wound up in electronics which I've done for the past 30 years. But I'll always love and have a soft spot in my heart for machine shops. :) Great vid. Thanks for sharing!

That spray welding is a process that if you hadn't known about it, and someone told you it would work, 99.9 % of people would say you're crazy, and laugh. Amazing how that flame keeps oxygen in the air from burning up the metal powder before it reaches the work piece. And how those particles can bind to the relatively cool metal shaft. It shows how the bond is at the atomic level, right at the surface. Like when steel cutting torch slag sticks to concrete. I've got some on my driveway that a pressure washer didn't dislodge. The camera work was outstanding.
