Many people don't know the secret to welding aluminum simply and effectively

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

And after watching this video with no explanation, the many who didn't know the secret to welding aluminium STILL don't know the secret to welding aluminium.

[@pl5484]

Tout à fait d'accord. Exemple : quel est le type de la baguette utilisée ?

[@Jeffindsm]

Takes 4 days and nights of constant work to fill a hole then after you fill the hole sand it down. You were thinking it’s magic instead of melting unlike how an aluminum weld has beads, which I expected until I seen the torch. It’s touch melt to exhaustion (your own from not knowing what you’re doing) to melt melt fill in blob melt melt get lucky cause all pliability is lost and the case is way more brittle now than before. And use two rods, in fact use the front on one and the back on the other to confuse people watching you so they won’t learn and become your competition. Any questions pay at the front desk on your way out. Good day

[@michaelszczys8316]

The main secret to welding aluminum is having the right equipment to weld aluminum. With the right equipment it might even be EASY to weld. TIG welder on AC is best Trying to do it with reverse polarity stick rods is tricky at best, and using a torch is even trickier yet.

[@KiloFeenix]

Considering there is absolutely no welding going on in this video i agree.

[@ItsDaJax]

That's diecast aluminum. What he's doing is using a similar aluminum and basically soldering in the hole. You can't just weld diecast aluminum, a TIG is too hot and can make it brittle.

[@general5104]

My Dad taught me to weld steel with an oxy-acetylene torch and a small tip and use a wire coat-hanger with the paint sanded off. Then, an old shop teacher of mine, taught me to pre-heat the aluminum before welding it. He said to put a piece of Stainless Steel in behind the hole you were filling up, in your aluminum welding project, and melt the side walls of the casting while you melt in broken strips of CASTING, instead of aluminum rods. The metals HAD TO match, in order to melt together and not break again. The aluminum would run on the Stainless Steel plate, but wouldn't bond to it, so you would have a smooth surface on both sides of the aluminum patch. You didn't have to worry so much about it "falling out the back," since you had a backing plate it wouldn't melt to. Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

No secret this is a DIY method, he would have found it easier and quicker with a thin sheet of copper behind it, if it was brought to me for a professional repair i'd have cut the hole square and TIG welded a piece of Aluminium in, 30 min job.

[@Ziyoblader]

Exactly that's the correct way to fix this if he would have done this at a professional shop the QA would have a cow with him as usually we're only allowed like at Max 3 mm Gap with this kind of steel thickness any more than that and the QA would have to bring out a MAG test or flat out rejected depending on the QA an engineer in the investigation

[@hansstofberg43]

Amazing. A torch and home made welding rods and no flux. This takes immense amounts of skill and patience. MY respect to your ability!

[@ranckie5055]

It was refreshing to watch your video because I figured out how to weld aluminum the same way over 50 years ago using a torch and aluminum welding rods that were actually made for electric welding, (but never worked well when used with an electric welder). At that time, I had people tell me that my repairs would never work or hold up, but as you well know they ended up eating their words later on. It was shortly after that that I had my first encounter with MIG welding aluminum. Thanks for showing people that "No you can't doesn't always mean you can't"!

I have a training course book from Boeing, when they knew how to build airplanes during WW II, all about teaching someone how to weld aluminum with an acetylene torch. Explains it all, but it still takes practice to get it right, and the welds look as good as anyone using heliarc today. I believe what this fellow is using is the aluminum solder type rods you can get at a Home Depot, not truly welding anything.

[@fmlymn1]

He makes his rod out of other cast aluminum scrap.

My brother had a case with a bad crack. It was a Yamaha as well and his friend, some kind of exceptional welder, touched it with. A grinder and said that's why nobody wants to mess with it. It's magnesium. I need some special rods so it'll take a couple days because I have to order them. Impossible to tell where it was repaired.

[@michaelszczys8316]

Some parts are made of strange mixtures of alloys and don't want to weld very good. I did a test on a Triumph motorcycle cover and it didn't weld very good at all. That was with high quality TIG welding apparatus.

[@MrRaymond1021]

Impressive work. 👍👍👍

[@stevelindsay3643]

Nice work. Anyone who has welded aluminum with a torch knows it takes practice. It is not as easy as it looks. I've ruined things trying to weld aluminum in various ways from not having enough experience, to faulty rods, contaminated metal, improper heat, etc. It takes longer to become skilled at gas torch welding aluminum than any other form of welding. I speak from decades of experience. Before the average consumer could buy Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) Machines,,, We Were Stuck With Gas Welding, Brazing, Soldering, Casting, And Forging Metals. Now the consumer can purchase any type of welder ever invented. It's come a long way in a few decades.

Interesting! I have tried before to weld with propane and found it didn't have the same properties as acetylene! I found that propane seemed to give a larger area of heat making it difficult to use but as I see here it looks workable. This was years ago and I was younger like 25 years or so. I brought the part to someone else and they used acetylene So I figured propane was not viable. Thanks I shall try again.

[@JoeBidenIsGreat]

As u get better at welding you will sharpen your tungsten less and less. Your skill will improve that you always keep a perfect gap without touching the material with the electrode. One more critical safety advice for welding in a confined space dont smoke weed before u weld in the confined space.

Que tipo de gases se utilizan para soldar aluminio?

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Having done this kinda work let me answer some FAQ's and explain. 1. YES, he actually is welding. 2. NO, he is NOT Brazing. 3. He is alternating between using a flux covered rod with a steel core to clean and a filler rod (probably a very soft hybrid aluminum filler rod of some sort). 4. He is reheating the dabs and using the steel flux covered rod to get under the oxide layer after the puddle has heated up. This moves the molten aluminum under the oxide layer to be more uniform. 5. TIG, MIG, ARC and OXY can all do Aluminum Welding. This has been possible for many decades. 6. Yes this piece was probably distorted by all the extra heat. He should have clamped it in a steel backer to avoid heat distortion. 7. He is using the flux covered rod to tap off slag. That is why you see him flicking it occasionally. All cast aluminum has shit in it. 8. He doesn't care about using AC Tig because he's in a third world country where they make due with what they have. Does it matter if the part ends up working in the end. 9. He never shows the inside of the piece after he does the outside appearance finish.

[@AstrobumTV]

How's the structural integrity?

[@peltiereric6497]

Not sure if that’s technically considered welding, it’s probably more accurate to call it brazing and here’s why. Welding especially Oxy Acetylene Welding true Welding uses bare filler metal where Brazing uses Filler Metal that has a flux cored center or a flux coating or even possibly a jar of paste flux in rare instances. At the start of the process he was holding rods that looked almost like Stick Welding Electrodes and that is what he used to make his first pass around the original parent metal because it has a flux and then he used scrap aluminum that looks like he melted out into his own filler metal rods very crudely formed but they worked and he kept switching between the fluxed rods and then the bare scrap aluminum then back to the flux rods then bare aluminum then fluxed ones. So what he did was a suitable solution if he lacked access to a Tig Welder but that is how it truly should have been repaired but it requires access to the equipment and skills beyond the average welder skills

[@nixxonnor]

Is this soldering or brazing? I guess the filler material has a lower melting point than the base material. It seems to take forever. Maybe one could make a bottom in the opening, so that the melted rod does not fall down? But what easily formed material would be suited to dam up the molten metal without sticking to it? Maybe wood could be used? Some charring would result, but so what?

To anyone who has watched this video and is reading these comments, you still won't know how to weld aluminum because this is NOT how to do it. There's usually more than one way to accomplish anything but this technique is just not at all proper in any way. Go find another video that shows something different and it will be a better approach because it can't get any more wrong than this. However, I must acknowledge the fact that this video has close to 1.3 million views in 4 months time so credit where credit is due, he obviously has skills at making money on KZbin which is a good thing because aluminum welding isn't looking like a good money maker for him.
