@carl40433 ай бұрын
Nice job,as usual, but I think you are actually welding those pieces when using the MIG process. I don't think you have enough control over the heat to actually "Braze" the silicon bronze onto the steel. The ability to hit that sweet spot heat range and open the pores of the base metal just enough to "Braze' or "solder" the bronze can really only be achieved with a TIG process and pedal as you can watch the puddle and start to move as the bronze liquefies but the base steel doesn't. Just my opinion as I have always had to use TIG with silicon bronze when working with dissimilar's. I know it (MIG) seems to work well with cast irons but again I think there you"re still "welding" but relying on the elastic properties of the silicone bronze to help get past the "hot short" characteristics of the cast iron to reduce the cracking stress potentials. You're finished product looked pretty nice though and it certainly makes more money time wise than TIG. Always like your video's and your no-nonsense approach to explanation and just getting the job done. I use that same 220ACDC machine everyday in my shop and am pretty happy with it. Love your line boring setups and processes as well. Mark
@markd67773 ай бұрын
Silicon bronze wire I have never seen used. Thanks Greg for showing the process! I’m learning from your videos, and am truly appreciative of the work you put into these. Good to see that MM220 being used with the new 800. Great combination for the field. How would you compare to a suitcase setup? The reason I ask is because I am considering a suitcase purchase, even though I have a Miller Multimatic 215 and a Primeweld MIG-285 I can use with my Bobcat.

The only real difference between the 220 and something like a 12vs is the 220 welds a little smother with hard wire. And a little smoother on lower voltage.

If you release the paddle switch then press it again it won't work without resetting the switch on the side handle. It's the new angle grinder for pansies.
Using compressed gas instead of compressed air would definitely give you a better finish. When plasma cutting was invented it was only used with compressed gas.
308 👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing 😅
I never seen Brass welded before. I thought because of the melting point of brass, and the melting point of steel. Would conflict with each other. Therefore not getting a good clean weld. ..Nice work !!!
It's not welding, it's brazing. The base steel is not melted. It's a coalescing process like soldering
Nice job,as usual, but I think you are actually welding those pieces when using the MIG process. I don't think you have enough control over the heat to actually "Braze" the silicon bronze onto the steel. The ability to hit that sweet spot heat range and open the pores of the base metal just enough to "Braze' or "solder" the bronze can really only be achieved with a TIG process and pedal as you can watch the puddle and start to move as the bronze liquefies but the base steel doesn't. Just my opinion as I have always had to use TIG with silicon bronze when working with dissimilar's. I know it (MIG) seems to work well with cast irons but again I think there you"re still "welding" but relying on the elastic properties of the silicone bronze to help get past the "hot short" characteristics of the cast iron to reduce the cracking stress potentials. You're finished product looked pretty nice though and it certainly makes more money time wise than TIG. Always like your video's and your no-nonsense approach to explanation and just getting the job done. I use that same 220ACDC machine everyday in my shop and am pretty happy with it. Love your line boring setups and processes as well. Mark
Silicon bronze wire I have never seen used. Thanks Greg for showing the process! I’m learning from your videos, and am truly appreciative of the work you put into these. Good to see that MM220 being used with the new 800. Great combination for the field. How would you compare to a suitcase setup? The reason I ask is because I am considering a suitcase purchase, even though I have a Miller Multimatic 215 and a Primeweld MIG-285 I can use with my Bobcat.
The only real difference between the 220 and something like a 12vs is the 220 welds a little smother with hard wire. And a little smoother on lower voltage.
10:00 think the thing about the gold nugget looking rocks... that are just field stone but gold ish brass colored, have actual copper and zinc in them? found tons of those on the driveway as a kid and made a big pile, then the other kid stole them all.
awesome
If you used argon and helium it would weld hotter it sure helped my aluminum welding
Alright we're back ,,ya ,,Coffees on! Here we go! Cheers!;-)!!
Great content! If you had to do it with stick which would you use? I love watching big boy welding jobs, you get some good ones. Thanks for all you share with us.
I believe they make silicone bronze stick rods. That’s what I would use.
@OFW I kinda figured that. I may see one of these myself one day. I've worked on jaw crushers but not cones. Thanks for the info, I hope to be just like you when I grow up 😁
I do 90% of my work in the bentonite clay mines in wyo and the dakota's that looks like clay i deal with most days but its a different color its usually a shade of rust color it gets everywhere and it sticky my wife made me but a shower in her garage (shop is mine) when im coming home usually fri she put cloths out there for me and i wash and change in garage and has special washer there for my wirk cloths
👍
they mix in helium for welding, maybe that would help for gouging?
I'm always intrigued about costs and how much that brass ring would be worth.
I’m not sure what the new one cost, but I bet it was a couple grand at least.
You would be shocked at the scrap value of red bronze. I got $600 for a wheelbarrow full
Do you run any special liner in your gun for silicone bronze wire? I have problems with it kinking while it is being fed sometimes. I ran it in my spool gun in the past with no problem though. Thanks! Awesome video!
Nothing special. I haven’t had any issues yet.
Hey at the end, what was that conditioning disk? Great content btw. Ive TIG brazed plenty, never even knew you could dc mig SB.
It was a 3m scotch bright style pad. I believe it’s in my amazon store.
Question, is that the mig gun that came with that Millermatic 220? Nice work.
No, it’s aftermarket. Bernard
That’s awesome Greg! I have only ever flame welded with bronze filler and it was challenging. Seen it used with TIG but haven’t seen it done with wire feed. Didn’t even know what gas to use. When I worked in the gravel mines when I was younger we had Jacques cones and they had no such sacrificial piece between the upper and lower sections. Did I hear Jacob was on another job? Did he graduate from helper?
Yes, I have been letting Jacob take the Ram to go do jobs on his own. He still has a lot to learn with welding but he is a pretty good mechanic.
That’s awesome. I train guys in my industry and have been for a few years. It cool to see them grow and learn and succeed. Oddly enough it has changed from young guys a few years ago to training guys older than me this last year and it’s become much more challenging, the old guys are resistant to learning and want to focus only on what they already know and work to avoid getting with the times and the evolution of technology.
In the world of plumbing there are brass and red brass pipe and fittings. Some projects would call out red brass, I don't recall why nor what the characteristics are.
Doesn't red brass a higher copper % than "normal".
is that not just fancy brazing?
Is this your first job with your new machine?
No. About the 7 th
Is the tanker on poles used for something or just a static display? 🤔
It’s used to gravity fill water trucks.
Was the choice of wielding wire because it will wear like brass?
No, it’s because it can bond the two dissimilar metals together in a strong bond.
What makes all the black soot is that because 100% argon or the wire.
I think it’s a combination of things including some dirt that probably got in there.
Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍
I wonder how many welding shops they had to call before they found someone that knew how to use a MIG welder with brass/bronze as filler material? 🤔 I have a feeling the shop close to me would look at someone like they have a third eye if they were asked that question. I wasn't aware it could be done.
They called the local guy and he laughed and said it can’t be done. Then they called me.
@@OFW 😁
@@OFW appreciate you responding! Must get busy with a growing channel.
@@dans_Learning_Curve I read every single comment and try to respond to most comments. Especially someone like yourself who always leaves a comment on my videos.
@@OFW you actually remember my channel? 🤔 WoW 😳 I'm impressed!
How long of a lead you have on your plasma cutter
50 ft but they do make a 75 ft
i don't think you can solder with MIG...I think that's brazing, but I could be wrong. soldering is below 840 degrees F. never seen it done like that. only with TIG

Him "were gonna weld steel to brass" me 'the fuck you gonna do?"
how can the shielding gas not blow away in the wind?
Gas turned up, high quality consumables.
