The Boiler # 3 (32) - Silver Soldering - Build a live Steam Locomotive "Decauville"

Go easy on my..... this time I'm Late....
I Never thought that a Boiler can be a challenge like that....
A great process of learning and a completley other work than the Drivework so far....
Sit back and enjoy.....
This is Part 32 of how I build a 45 mm live steam locomotive based on Julius De Waal's plans
The trick is, i build without a Milling machine or Router
More details and explainings following in the next Parts!
I Hope the Videoquality will rise with this Channel
You can download the plans free of charge on the Internet.
www.vapeuretmodelesavapeur.com​...
The plans come as PDF, are metric and in addition to detailed views in 3D, also have assembly instructions.
Thanks to Julius for his permission to use the plans for this Channel! And Thanks to all the Inspiration he gave me in the last Years with his great selection of Plans and Projects!

Schont mich ..... diesmal bin ich viel zu spät ....
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ein Kessel eine solche Herausforderung sein kann ...
Ein großartiger Lernprozess und eine komplette andere Arbeit als das bisherige Fahrwerk ....
Lehnt euch zurück und genießt die Show .....
Dies ist Teil 32 wie ich eine 45-mm-Live-Dampflok nach den Plänen von Julius De Waal baue
das besondere ist, das hier keine Fräsen und CNC Maschinen zum Einsatz kommen.
... Weitere Details und Erklärungen folgen in den nächsten Teilen!
Ich hoffe die Videoqualität wird mit diesem Channel steigen
Ihr könnt die Pläne kostenlos im Internet herunterladen.

Die Pläne liegen als PDF vor, sind metrisch und enthalten neben Detailansichten in 3D auch Montageanleitungen.
Vielen Dank an Julius für seine Erlaubnis, die Pläne für diesen Channel zu nutzen! Und danke an all die Inspiration, die er mir mit seiner großen Auswahl an Plänen und Projekten in den letzte Jahren gegeben hat!

[@chiefauditor1683]

The steam dome looks to be brass. If so, for anyone reading this, brass suffors dezincification and it fails. Bronze is acceptable but never brass on any bushing, or brazed component of a boiler

[@dreamsteam8272]

In this case, i change the parts to bronze, because of the copper boiler! but if you use a brass boiler, than you can use brass bushings! The problem with brass is only in conection to copper parts. Electrolysis does the dezincification! Many steam models come in brass, but only when they also use only brass for boilers and more!

[@fransbeckman5007]

I must ask, I don't quite understand the arrangement of the flues, why do you both have a pair of large flues (where the burners are placed?) and those smaller flues?

[@dreamsteam8272]

The small flues in the burner section get in direct contact with the flames over the burner, so they act like a super-heater. The larger ones going from the burner through the boiler, as regular smoke pipes, so that the heat from the burner goes through the boiler and through the water. If you need plans for, just send me a PM to [e-mail]

[@plurplursen7172]

[@manuelpreininger]

Saubere Arbeit. Mit welchem Lot arbeitest du?

[@dreamsteam8272]

Danke, Wenn die teile leicht zu erhitzen sind, (also überwiegend bei kleinen teilen, wie das erste teil im Video z.b.) Dann benutze ich herkömmliches hartlot Typ: L-AG 45 Länge: 500 mm Ø 1,50 mm Schmelztemp. ca. 600 Bei den Großen Bauteilen, die lang erhitzt werden müssen, und wo deswegen das herkömmliche Flussmittel in der Aufheizphase verbrennt oder stark verrust, benutze ich Silber hartlot, welcher mit flussmittel ummantelt ist. Der ist vom Preis ähnlich, lötet sich weit besser, ist aber schwierig zu reinigen. Da er auch wie ich finde, etwas zu dick ummantelt ist, gibt er zuviel ab, weshalb er nichts für kleine präzisionsteile ist.

[@MacStrange]

What flux did you use? Congratulations nice work

[@dreamsteam8272]

Thanjs for your comment. I use different Types of flux. First i use a Coat of flux from here: www.bengs-modellbau.de/werkzeug/loetzubehoer/flussmittel-fuer-silberlot But to ensure good connection and solder flow, i use (when boiler making) flux coatet solder, for industrial use.

[@joell439]

👍👍😎👍👍

[@jeffmill2]

What type or brand of silver solder did you use?

[@dreamsteam8272]

That depends on the job to be done. I don't have a special brand. The only important thing is if you heat components several times, that you start with a solder that melts at around 700-800 degrees. If you have to heat the component again in a further step, use a solder with a melting point of 500-600 degrees. This way you work back the number of steps so that areas that have already been soldered do not open again.

[@GoCreateHobbyMachineShop]

I was wondering how you were getting on with the boiler, that looks a great job! Very well done. Interesting boiler design as well.

[@dreamsteam8272]

Thanks to your advice and videos, it came out better than expected... thanks Nigel!

[@haroldpearson6025]

Silver soldering- simple rule, the job must be hot enough to melt the solder.

[@rondove9868]

I download the prints for this project. i am in the USA and i was wondering what size of copper tub did you use?? The print calls for a 63 mm.. for the life me, I am trying to find one. the only thing I came find is 2.625 heavy wall tube..

[@dreamsteam8272]

I am in Germany.... in the metric system the next tube is 64 mm or 62mm I used 62 x 2 mm (2mm wall thickness)

[@rondove9868]

@@dreamsteam8272 Ok cool so in The USA the 2.625 is nominal 2.5" O.D with a .083 Wall, so that tube will work for the boiler. I believe.. Thank You. 2mm wall is .078" Thank you for your help and you do a awesome job doing it by hand. I am going to cheat and use waterjet, mills and lathes.. lol I am a machinist so i have access to all of that equipment..

You gonna hydro the build or just cross your fingers and light fires? A great bit of kit there, master.

[@dreamsteam8272]

It will be tested. but currently waiting for a new air compressor ... 😉 (and ..... when I say wait .... then I mean, I haven't dared to ask my wife if I can buy one .....). 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks... stay healthy!

[@michellambert1821]

@@dreamsteam8272 You don't need an air compressor. Using air to test a boiler is very dangerous. Because air is compressible (elastic) and stores energy. You have to use water. A foot pump must be used for cars. 1 - Fill the boiler with water 2 - Immerse the pump in a basin full of water. The pressure will depend directly on the force on the pump. No residual energy as with air. There are tutorials on the internet. you have to be careful!

[@berndknoche1172]

Welches Silberlot haben Sie benutzt mit wieviel Silberanteil?

[@dreamsteam8272]

Hallo Bernd. Ich verwende bei mehreren Lötvorgängen an einem Teil, stufenlote. Das heißt, das erste Lot hat eine Arbeitstemperatur von 700-800 Grad. Für die Grundstruktur. Die Folgelote haben 600-700 Grad. Das sorgt für problemlose stufenlotgänge, so daß die zuvor gelötete Struktur nicht schmilzt Hauptsächlich kommt daher 1,5mm x 500mm AF 319XL L-Ag 34 Sn zur Anwendung. Mit einem Silberanteil von 55 %

Wofür ist das Salz gedacht?

[@dreamsteam8272]

Das Salz beschleunigt die Reinigung extrem... in reinem Essig braucht der Kessel ca. 6 Stunden.... mit Salz nur etwa 20 minuten. Ich habe den Trick von einem Koch der mit kupfertöpfen arbeitet. Mach ein stück kupfer nass und mache ein salzhäufchen darauf. Spül es nach 20 sekunden ab und du siehst eine blanke neue oberfläche wo das salz lag.... aber gut abspülen... das hört sonst nicht auf und das Kupfer wird grün!!!!!

[@schwellenzaehler4564]

@@dreamsteam8272Hallo Chris, mein Tipp..... nimm Zitronensäure (Pulver) , das gibts im Säurefachhandel im Eimer, das ist relativ günstig, (kann man auch zum Kaffeemaschine entkalken nehmen/also braucht man auch anderweitig😉) säure ansetzen, dann mach die ganze "Suppe" mit einem Tauchsieder warm. Wirst dich wundern um wie viel schneller das geht. So kannst du mehrmals am Tag hintereinander löten ohne zu lange Wartezeit. Beste Grüße und weiter so👍😊
