Welding Aluminum Simple Tricks For A Perfect Weld

[@mattsmith817]

This is good advice for all beginner welders. If you learn to weld with acetylene on different types of metal it will teach you how material reacts and help you become a good welder in the future. I’ve been welding for 30 years and I learned how to weld with a torch first. It gave me a good solid base to build on and today I can weld any material with the correct welder but it all started with a torch and some rod.

I endorce this guys message ❤ I always welded everything with oxygen and acetylene.....We even welded airplane headers and pressure tested them in water....Its a great way of welding just not fast...Cast iron , steel, aluminum etc.... All we had other than stick in the shop for many years.

[@Walkercolt1]

Lumi-Weld STICKS!!! I wish I had a dollar for every cycle case I've repaired with them! Stronger and BETTER than heli-arcing or MIG. Just a good propane torch (MAPP is optional) and Lumi-Welds and if you have a hole up to the size of your fist, you can build-it up in stages. I repaired a two-stroke's main bearing with Lumi-Weld.

[@bbcala9719]

Fantastic job. Welding Holes in Aluminum take patience and the right amount of heat. Looks great 👍

Great job,I'm a torch welder myself,this is almost a forgotten trade!

[@Rem1061]

I grew up being taught to use an Oxy/cetylene rig to weld mild steel using the coat hangers from the dry cleaners as filler. Worked great, and finally had a use for all those damn coat hangers.

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

Same here. Was taught by some old school guys in the 1980's. In the 2000's I was the only one in the shop who could braze parts back together. Fix damage to exhausts that other techs caused. Lol Add hangers to pipes. Braze an 02 bung on an exhaust. Used the coat hangers when we ran out of brazing rods back in the day. Hell I even brazed together a battery hold down for my old Datsun. But back in the day they started putting a filler inside the coat silver coat hangers and it would pop and carry on like crazy. So we requested they use the bronze colored coat hangers for our uniforms. 🙄

This is a very effective trick and method for welding aluminum, bro, without any support at the bottom of the weld, nothing will fall off at all...

[@johnrichardson82]

Why not fill hole with flat stock and weld it in place

[@seancollins9745]

That would make sense

[@shelbug100]

Cause then he wouldn't get any clicks.

[@andersblomqvist2833]

Because video is showing an old technique. 35years ago pretty much all shops would have fixed the hohe this way.

[@MyGames-b6r]

I would suggest that what he is doing is closer to brazing than welding. He knows what he is doing. Using that torch and filler metal, it looks like brazing. Don't let the welding rod fool you.

[@paulscott2502]

Nice job, but I would've drilled a hole at the end of the crack.

[@barrykilts4506]

I would have done it like fixing a hole in drywall or auto body patch filling hole with aluminum stock and weld around the outside edge then grind but I guess there’s more than one way to skin a cat!

[@woodyscrooby2454]

That was very impressive! What are your aluminium filler rods made of? They obviously melt at a lower temp than the housing. Are you using the steel welding rod as an abrader to break through the oxide film as well as smooth the weld? Last question, are you running a slight carburising flame? I really loved your video. Its nice to see age old craft practice. Great Job !!!

[@renatocravo9875]

bom trabalho, mas não passou nenhuma informação relevante, só mostrou seu trabalho, que ficou bom do lado dd fora e o lado de dentro? como ficou? qual liga do aluminio que usou para o preenchimento?

[@magicone9327]

Welding AL. try putting the piece on a hotplate to help keep it hot, use a filler to weld in rather than wasting so much time, gas and rod filling a hole this big. Try, if practical, welding from the inside so there is less grinding to finish what may need to be precise for mechanical clearances.

[@michaelthomas788]

You've ever seen a roadside flare the red coloration coming out of the flayer is the magnesium burning the reason it burns under water is because it does not need oxygen it comes from the magnesium which is why you can stick a piece of magnesium on fire in between two sheets of dry ice and it will not go out

[@gibbogle]

Oxygen does not come from magnesium, they are different elements. Dry ice is carbon dioxide, CO2, which does contain oxygen.

I put a copper back up strip on there, so you don’t drip through

[@davidsmith1913]

I used brass but that was on metal not aluminum would cooper do better just cause it being aluminum

[@hassanabofahd8307]

Yes, you can use a Duraweld rod and just a torch to do this , the weld area will be 2/3 times stronger than the casting , I have done it many times.

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

No, it don´t! This looks like crap. Would You pay for this?

[@Dino_Buk]

And not only that, but the people back then didn't own an angle grinder, so they had to smooth down the patch by a hand with the file and the sandpaper. And it was soo much time and energy consuming, but still it had to be done in time for a customer.
