Weld Repair - Cast Aluminum

[@dannpurvis]

This guy has uncommon skill. I’ve been working and learning from others with my hands for over 60 years. For anyone of any age his offhand eye skills are very rare, especially at his age. Amazing! Stradivarius level!

[@raydreamer7566]

Great professional repair and the Scotch bright buffing really brings it back to a more normal color.

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁

[@tofuworx]

A master craftsman👍 always love watching you do your magic.

Wow! I weld old cast aluminium intercoolers and radiators every day so I know my cast repairs but this must be the cleanest casting I've ever seen :O Such a little amount of pores, wow. What a thrill to weld

2:04 in .. it's like you're playing us a tune with the frequency buzz. It also reminds me a lot of loading games from tape on my ZX Spectrum, back in the day..

😅 yes its a bit like that

[@stephanmeeusen7655]

Can I ask something? Can you just weld alumium casts with regular aluminum TIG rods ? Reason I am curious because if you were to do it like this with good ol cast iron you end up with a beautiful crack

[@TheMetalist]

Cast iron is a complet different Story i hate it to weld it its always like a 50/50 chance if it works out 😅 100% Nickel rod work almost always. Aluminum casting is diffrent way easier depents how good the cast is most of the time i use AlMg5 But that is my opinion 😊 diffrent people diffrent opinion. If there is a really old cast Aluminum part it welds like if you weld a sponge and than i just try to fill it up with the aluminum rod Material to get a solid base for welding. Its like weld, grind, weld, grind, weld, grind till it is possible to weld it nice.

Slick.

[@paolosisi7487]

it's a "vespa 50" handlebar, but the front brake lever is not aligned in this way. To do the work properly, you should mount the throttle bar to find the exact position of the tapped lower hole.

[@TheMetalist]

Yes, the guy from the Vespa Shop told me the same 😅 but till now he is happy with all the parts 😁

[@paolosisi7487]

@@TheMetalist if he's happy, that's the only important thing. Nice job ;-)

Hey, can you link to that metal ruler / scribe tool that you use sometimes? It has a knob on it for setting its distance. Thanks! Love the channel!

Top Arbeit 👍🏻. Was für ein Zusatz hast du benutzt?

[@TheMetalist]

Dankeschön 😁 AlMg5

[@UniSandek]

what settings did u used on your tig welder? ampers, how much ac balance, pulse off or on? maybe which form if your machine supports that (soft square,sine,triangular..)... great work :)

[@TheMetalist]

105-125amp hand pulsed, -65% ac balance, soft, 95hz 1,6mm Almg5

[@RaicoRosenberg]

@@TheMetalist im guessing you cant get the same results with a DC TiG welder or am i mistaken? thanks

Hi 👋 Regelst du die Leistung am schweißgerät während des schweißen, z.B. mit einem fußpedal???

[@TheMetalist]

Ja mit dem Fusspedal. Stelle am Gerät die maximal Leistung ein und dann kann ich es dosieren.

[@TheMetalist]

Bei dem Video hatte ich aber handbetrieb

[@ΔλΑν]

Hi teacher 😉😉, good job!!! -What is the diameter and the type of the filling rod? - with how many Amber you solder?

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁 Its a 1.6mm AlMg5 105 amp

That´s a front brake lever mount for a scooter - not sure I´d be riding around on that after such a repair, nice job and all that but not for safety critical items.

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 🙂 Yes right, something like that is always questionable 🙄

[@Farlig69]

@MPM Welding "Utter ridiculous nonsense" - pray do tell me how you aim to qualify that statement? Have you access to the base material specs? Have you access to the heat treatment & welding procedures for such a base material? Have you knowledge of the welding rods used? Do you know what qualifications the welder has? Moreover, do you have knowledge of the manufacturer's requirements for repairs to such damage? No, thought not. The fact that it's a scooter does not preclude the requirement for fit for purpose brakes when that small child runs out in front of you chasing his dog / football / whatever. You fucking moron.

[@Farlig69]

@MPM Welding I don't believe Suzi ever came out with welded yokes from the factory, in fact I can't recall ever seeing an OEM welded yoke never mind aftermarket. Nevertheless, that fact it was a gixxer turned into a street fighter tells all - it's been a wreck so all bets are off that any welds have been subjected to only normal operating stresses... I repeat, you'd better have fit for purpose brakes when that small child runs out in front of you. If it's parents find out you welded the front brake mount in your shed, better get yourself a fucking good lawyer...

[@brucegeeee]
