Put the chain links on the busted grill and send it to the person that sent you the good grill so they can put it on their wall and forever be part of the story

I had the same idea! Only addition is sign the grill, also get Matt to, and Paul from Fab Rats EDIT - and Ed somehow, maybe after the reveal, as others have suggested

[@jeffrentsch4318]

Return autographed grill to donor of good grill. If the donor is not wanting that auction off broken autographed grill and donate to charity.

[@tosgem]

What you should do with the chain links: melt them into the old grill in the same spots and send it back to the people who donated that good grill, signed by you and Matt and Fab Rats, so they can hang it in the same place on their wall. EDIT - Also get Ed's signature somehow, maybe wait til after reveal. And another thought - everyone should sign the new grill that goes on Eds car. Maybe put some clearcoat over the top

@@RobbyLayton That down slag is most than likely cutting speed related. Try reducing the speed of the cutter by small increment and compare results. Might have to lower the torch a wee bit too but start trying reducing speed a little and see where it goes. When its cutting too slow, it makes wider cuts and more down slag. To fix it, raise the torch, or increase speed a little bit every time until you're happy with your cut

[@DoesItTho]

Doood! Robbie is no joke good. Real fuggin good. No corners cut, no complaining, just well versed knowledge with a great work ethic. Kudos to him and his team

[@mongomay1]

Plasma table setup issues: Excessive amperage or low standoff can also cause low-speed dross. (Some low speed dross in the corners of a plasma cut is normal since velocity does not remain constant through a sharp turn). To eliminate low speed dross: Increase the cut speed in 5 ipm increments Increase the standoff in 1/16 increments or 5 volt increments Decrease the amperage in 10 amp increments If none of these measures improve the cut, consider a smaller nozzle size - High standoff or low amperage (for a given material thickness and cutting speed) can also cause high speed dross since both of these changes cause a reduction in the energy of the plasma jet. To eliminate high speed dross: Check the nozzle first for signs of wear (gouging, oversize or elliptical orifice) Decrease the cutting speed in 5 ipm increments Decrease the standoff in 1/16 increments or 5 volts increments Increase the amperage (but do not exceed 95% of the nozzle orifice rating) - To eliminate top spatter dross: Check the nozzle for signs of wear Decrease the cutting speed in 5 ipm increments Decrease the standoff in 1/16 increments or 5 volt increments - The window varies with plasma gas used: For example, nitrogen and air plasma gasses have a relatively narrow dross free window on carbon steels while oxygen plasma has a wider dross free window. (Oxygen plasma gas reacts with carbon steel to produce a finer spray of molten metal, each droplet having a lower surface tension. This molten spray is more easily ejected from the kerf). - To judge the optimum cutting speed: Method 1: make a series of test cuts at various cutting speeds and choose the speed that produces the cleanest cut. Lag lines (small ridges in the surface of the cut) are a good indication of cutting speed. Slow cutting speeds produce vertical lag lines that are perpendicular to the plane of the plate. Fast cutting speeds make slanted s-shaped lag lines that run parallel to the plate along the bottom edge. By examining the lag lines the operator can determine whether an increase or decrease in speed is needed to find the dross free window. Many operators have the tendency to slow the machine down at the first appearance of dross, but often an increase in speed is necessary. Method 2: watch the arc (through the appropriate welding lens) during the cut and dynamically change the speed to produce the optimum arc characteristics. To do this, observe the angle of the arc as it exits the bottom of the work-piece. If you're cutting with air plasma gas, the arc should be vertical as it exits the bottom side of the cut. With nitrogen or argon/hydrogen, a slight trailing arc is best, and with oxygen plasma gas, the best cut speed is one that gives you a slight leading arc. - Do some studying on what your settings and consumables; maybe these points were not considered on setup, just get it running. Make list with As Found, As left #1, As Left #2 etc. until you get it dialed in for the metal thicknesses and material types. Save those parameters as different settings if you can, maybe that will save you headaches in the long term.

If steel is water quenched, it can cool too fast and become hard, but brittle. Metal cooled slowly, or correctly quenched can be hardened without the brittle issue. You can water quenched unimportant pieces so you can handle them, but with important pieces that will see a load, you should avoid water quenching.

[@jeffrentsch4318]

The thing with metallurgy is way complex. Heating and cooling both change molecular structure, hardness and strength. Hardness is tolerance of deformation and ability to hold an edge, often resulting in brittleness. Strength is generally softer less able to hold edge, more likely to bend than break. Full since of changing composition of metals alloys and carbon content.

[@jasonpopielarczyk7511]

Metal strength and hardness are two different things. Quenching something to make it harder could also make it brittle. But it depends on the metal alloy.

[@laurelrowe5536]

It also depends on the consistency of the quenching liquid. Oil is used because it quenches metal even all the way through; whereas water makes the surface brittle and may leave the interior of the metal soft.

[@haroldshobbies]

They are working with low carbon steel, so quenching doesn’t do too much. It can change it a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. Like you said. It depends on the alloy.

[@CapitalCreators]

@@laurelrowe5536 thats false, oil and water have different rates at which they are able to absorb heat. Because of there differing specific heat capacity water cools more rapidly than oil and increases hardness.

[@John_B_Fab]

Ok, i'll educate a few here... Quenching metal in water isnt good at all in anyway shape or from, planet, dimension, whatever. Just don't. Only thing you will achieve using water is distort or cause cracking inside the metal. End of the story. Low carbon steels and low hardenability alloys will quench a lot better in fast oils while highly hardenable alloys quench better in hot oils gonig from 90F to about 400-425F depending on the metal or application. Y'all welcome ;) Been forging knives swords and damascus as a hobby for a few years now... you learn a lot about metal types, grades, properties and what do what if you do this or that. Im a guy who like doing tests, try and learn.

[@bobber55]

@@John_B_Fab I agree 100%. While they're giving themselves a high five, they need to look up quenching weldments like I have seen them doing in other videos. I am just old school and old. Been welding before they were even born and first thing taught was never quench a hot weld.

[@bobfreeman1319]

the simple answer is that heating metal expands the molecules, when you go from hot to cold quickly by quenching the metal the molecules will be set tighter together thus making the metal harder. however hardness does not equate to strength. in the case of knives they can be very easy to snap after quenching. the next step in the process is to temper the metal by heating it gently until you see your temper colors which range from straw or gold being the first colors to appear, to blue and purple, the final colors which indicate softer metal.

[@antimatter4733]

For the knife thing, you can quench a blade in oil or water, depending on the steel, water will harden the blade more but also increase the risk of cracking due to the thermal shock. If you want it really hard you can cryo quench it in water or oil below 0 degrees Celsius. But all that only works on steel that contains enough carbon.

[@johnfontaine2760]

Yeah you can’t harden mild steel.

[@mikerubynfs]

Where I work we make bearings, to make the rings to the correct state we heat them (900C to 1200C) in a vacuum, and quench in 80C oil for hardness. Then we temper by heating up and letting them cool slowly.

[@noisyhammerforge2247]

Hey guys, love watching the work on the nugget and the banana. On steel hardening, its about the temperature of the steel. Hardening and case harding happen while the steel is in the range where its still glowing and malleable(400 to 700 degree celsius). Tempering, which is a softening of the steel which in blades gives it flexibility, occurs in the range of 150 to 350 degree celsius. it also depends on the amount of carbon in the steel itself, most commonly square tube is 1018 mild(medium to low carbon) steel. With the quenching medium, water vs oil, the difference is that oil doesnt make a steam jacket around the steel producing risking an unequal temper/breakage and thus is preferable to water, but can set fire briefly carrying other inherent risks.

There's a difference between "toughness" and "hardness" in any material. Toughness is the ability to deform without breaking or "plasticity". Hardness is the resistance to deformation. When quenching (tempering) high carbon steel, you're trading toughness for hardness. Ideally you could case harden, then you get a compromise.

I'm no expert, but I believe mild steel is unlikely to harden due to quenching. Quenching hardens higher carbon steel.

[@Mike_C_64]

Steel only hardens when you quench it if it is medium or high carbon steel. Most of your tubing is low carbon (i.e. carbon content below .45%). Oil or water quench depends on the alloy and the speed of quench required.

[@bobhollandsworth1367]

Quenching low carbon steel will change the crystal structure and yield a harder steel. The amount of carbon will affect your ability to create martensite. The more carbon that is in the steel the more distortion you can cause in the martensite crystal. The more distortion in the martensite crystal, the harder the material. We do quench and temper low carbon steel (0.20%) to create a stronger and tougher part.

[@remorrey]

I agree with Bob Hollandsworth. For high impact tools, you need to temper, as a second step, the part to release just the right amount molecular tension. This is done by reheating to the right metal color and then air cooling. An excellent KZbin video called "Intro to heat treatment of steel..." explains the hardening and tempering. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q53JdKt6qLuHjdE. BTW, your neighbor Gill Hibben who had a shop down by the old train depot there in Ephraim was/is a master knife maker who understood this process very well. His knives are reveared.
