[@Jim-fe2xz]

My dad studied engineering in the late 1920's. Part of their learning involved learning the skills necessary to build the things they designed. He told me about learning to gas weld aluminum and how difficult it was because it gave little warning before it just melted away. He said he never got good at it but others did. People learned how to do a lot of things long before their was TIG and MIG welding (in fact arc welding became common in ship building for the massive buildup for WWII) or much in the way of automated machinery for that matter. How long will this repair work? I don't know but still this man did some very nice work!

I have welded a Honda FL350 atv piston. It's still running to this day and it's been years. I used a spool gun with 100% Argon. The thing I don't like about how he did this job was that he should have used a brass or copper back stop inside the hole. The other thing is that he is not using any shielding gas. He also appears to be using some kind of standard welding rod (PD110) at the beginning of the video but don't know what he was doing there (maybe picking off an oxide layer ?). Then he followed up plugging the hole with another rod. It seemed to work but I wonder how strong. I know for a fact my spool gun welding worked. He seems to be skilled.

[@tonyunderwood9678]

I once used a flat piece of slate as a back stop to MIG a hole shut. It worked. The arc weld rod he was using seems to be more for manipulating the brazing puddle (for lack of a better word) to form it. I imagine that this type of fix could Maybe work ok.

[@general5104]

That's the way you weld with a wire coat hanger on steel, but aluminum doesn't act that way. It has to be inserted in a helium atmosphere with a plasma type flame, much hotter than Acetelyn and Oxygen can muster. You have to evenly heat all of the part that you're welding and keep it that hot and use a special flux or it will blow up when combustion forces are applied to it. The old expression was HELIARC, which is a combination of Helium and ARC. You CAN use an Aluminum SPOOL GUN with a MIG power unit. The gun you hold has the spool mounted right on it and the welder is cabled with a Helium flow plume around the outside perimeter of the orifice where the wire comes out. Otherwise, to use an old expression, "you're pissing into the wind."

[@ramosel]

Agreed, 100%. I might even add a gas backing nozzle on the underside of the piston And, there should have been a lot more prep work done. Especially on the bottom side where the piston spent much of its previous life in oil. This might be an appropriate fix for a lawnmower but not something you would need to depend on.

[@kjbull1]

So what your saying is you can’t weld aluminium with oxi acetylene? Well if that’s what your saying your wrong. You can. I’m not saying you should weld a piston but this method is fine for Aluminium welding.

[@ramosel]

@@kjbull1 *you're Oh, you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. It certainly doesn't have the strength or bond of a shielded arc process. It's a third world fix.

[@EddieTheGrouch]

He's using that "Wonder Rod" alloy so no gas needed and then using an arc rod for a stir stick to break the oxide layer and blend the puddle. Piston or not he's skilled with that alloy and it's a good demo on using the stuff.

[@germac16126]

Mon père dans les années 50 prenait un piston de moteur de Frégate et rajoutait de la matière sur la tête du piston. Les baguettes d'alu étaient taillées dans des bidons de lait. Une fois l'épaisseur atteinte il finissait le piston au tour pour l'évider à l'intérieur et donner la forme bombée extérieure à la calotte. Ce piston une fois fini était monté sur sa moto une NSU OSL 250 cc modifiée pour les courses de moto cross et pour tourner au méthanol. Donc ce principe fonctionnait très bien à l'époque.

[@annpeerkat2020]

I've seen a few holed pistons from two strokes overheating before, but this is obviously from a 4 stroke engine. Clearly the operator has welding skills, but I'd love to see how, and for how long, that piston stands up to normal combustion chamber operation.... with both cylinder combustion pressures and heat being a concern. Cylinder temps of up to 2500C are pretty warm.... google tells me if an aluminium alloy piston gets over 550C it goes all melty.

[@IvysSSousa]

if the cylinder really reached that temperature in a motorcycle engine, no manufacturer would put aluminum pistons. and answering your question, piston recovery may not deliver the same performance as before, but for common use bikes that will rarely exceed 7,000 RPM, I think this repair is very unlikely to cause any problems. . . . . . Really, where did you get the idea that the combustion chamber of an domestic market engine reaches 50% of the temperature of the sun?

[@JillandKevin]

@IvysSSousa Actually 1500 to 2000C, but I would also like to see how long such a repair lasts. As in another of these videos, this looks suspiciously like "Aluminum Brazing Rod", and not actually aluminum filler. Maybe make a video showing installation of the piston and engine actually running?

what rod are you using?

[@vandalsgarage]

It appears to be scrap aluminum. The welding rod you see initially isn't for filler, he's using the butt end of a steel welding rod to manipulate, and clear impurities out of the weld puddle. The filler material is the fat rod. The welding rod is used to gauge how hot the aluminum is, and to push it into a fatter layer, that he'll then add filler to. Same thing when he flips the piston over, he's using the steel welding rod to shape the weld pool, not add to it.

[@tomthompson7400]

@@vandalsgarage these guys usually melt down another piston to make the filler ,, means the alloy in the diy rod is close to a piston , as it was a piston , not the worst idea but without flux to de oxidize the job its iffy at best.

@@Davilasammo no...its not. Because the imbalance will still be present. Any motor is balanced with crank and piston.
