Repaired the ever breaking axle with a new technique with a lifetime guarantee of not breaking

[@kolsen6330]

1 If that pin is bottomed out in the bore, when you weld it it will expand and crack the root weld as fast as you put it in. 2 Oiling the pin contaminates the weld causing porosity. 3 Undercut and gouges left after grinding guarantee a failure. This shaft is sure to break again the first time the driver puts a heavy load on it or shifts hard. This should be considered a temporary field repair that is good enough to get an empty truck back to the shop for a new axle. I am a retired welder and have never seen a welded axle last for very long. We welded a few in Alaska just to get the rig home or out of the bush and into the shop.

[@bills6093]

Splines on the replacement shaft end were shorter than the original.

[@tsterioff]

Ok yes you have welded them. But did you have a lathe and do it the way they did?

[@kolsen6330]

@@tsterioff Please read my three comments on procedure again. Using a lathe as a welding fixture doesnt matter. I can weld a shaft just as straight using an angle iron for a jig. I said that the axles I welded were a temp fix to get a rig out of the bush and to the shop. 20 miles, max. I used TIG, not something that looks like mud rod(6027). These guys are ignoring many things, heat affected zone, what kind of rod are they using, pre heat, post welding heat treatment and one big wash bead instead of stringers. In other words, lathe or not, this is bound to break again. And I do have the experience to back up what I say.

[@damianjones6546]

Yeah, they know what they're doing. I'm sure if it was more economical they would just use a new one and not bother repairing it.

[@A_Stereotypical_Heretic]

It's obviously crap. You can see the break was a weld previously done, likely by this very same butcher, you can still see the grinder marks where they tried to smooth the weld down. 😂 This guy has probably single handedly caused more accidents in Pakistan than anyone else, this very one being a prime example...yet people like you praise him.

[@jamestone265]

The Pontiac axles in my race car were narrowed 45 years ago in the same way then a collar welded over the weld… We set numerous Bonneville speed record with those axles….

[@angusmurray3767]

The collar of course makes a huge difference. You're not then relying on a butt weld where all the stress is concentrated. An external sleeve is always a good idea for this sort of repair but it depends on the axle design as to whether there's enough clearance through the bearing or in the axle casing.

[@bastiaoemmiami]

The problem is the weight of a loaded truck and the brutal torque transferred to the axle shaft. In a racing car, the weight is lightened, the power increases then the torque decreases.

[@Chevyman02]

The point is weight, not speed. Your Pontiac race car didn't haul 80,000 lb to 100,000 lb loads everyday!

[@A_Stereotypical_Heretic]

Whats the name of the car or team? What year and what records?

[@nikxohs3925]

welding do metal hard. it will break again. you have to preheat metal to 300-400 degrees, weld and then cover with sand to let it cool slowly..dont use oil or grease in the hole

[@shaverdave3644]

Ya put the loaded truck over a set of weigh scales it would be severely over loaded. I guess the loader operators dont know that trucks have a load limit eventually they will break

[@andymachala999]

Have these people never heard of heat treatment. Welding changes the chemical makeup of what's called the heat effected zone - HAZ. It drives out carbon and makes it brittle. It also leaves behind residual stress that is tearing it apart. And then to subjecting it to those roads and abuse it won't work. At least try blasting it with a big blow torch, get it cherry red then quench it. This relieves the stress, spreads out some of the carbon, allows the crystals to grow. Look up heat treatment.

[@bigblocklawyer]

I'd be happy if they'd figure out the work bench and get off the dirt floor. Then we can talk about heat treating. SMMFH.

[@truthseeker2815]

You have a bit to learn. The axle was no doubt already heat treated. It snapped. It’s already fairly brittle. In this case, hearing it by welding makes it softer. Also, they aren’t getting it that hot because of how it’s being welded. Did you even notice the type of stick used?

I wonder: Is there room in the housing for a tube to be slid over the axle and also welded to the axle? It would be one more layer of strength.

[@JohnDoe-es5xh]

unfortunately not

[@intheshell35ify]

The axle also acts as an auger to move lube outboard to the wheel bearings. A sleeve would stop the flow on top of not really fixing anything.

[@bryanh1944FBH]

@@intheshell35ify Thank you. Good point.

[@heightsgolan8742]

yes there is room for the tube and will not effect oiling at all. in fact there is tons of room. the axle has to pass through the seal and bearing. that is the limits to be faced, but if it does not ,the tube could be machined down. It would GEATLY increase the strength.
