Very good explanation on brazing being more of a “gluing” action on the dissimilar metals. But it’s some strong glue and great skill to have.
ive used both oxy/fuel an carbon arc (ac low amps) great application for all farris metal , like you mention cast, used alot in early days to repair water jackets . good vid
Loved your videos with Wes. Especially the haywagon fix.
If you use more of a lay wire technique with a tighter cone with less wire manipulation way more torch manipulation (circles) you'll get a nice stack of dimes that's way stronger. Many, many years of torch brazing and welding.
Definitely yes on cast or any other metals you think of.
Cast is tricky .I used to fix the wooden manure spreader with cast iron gears that drove the chains ..Can flux naked rods ,it helps to have all broken pieces a heavy duty steel work table to lay out all broken pieces ,flat and cleaned --no excrement to contaminate weld ,bevel all broken pieces carefully leaving small flat face to match original surface break. C clamps are your best friend and don't be shy how many you use . Cool down REALLY S L O W ! ! Or cracks again .....
Silver brazing should be a whole lot cleaner looking. Use some 56% silver and in my opinion it will be less messy and more cleaner. I been silver brazing in my air gas company cryogenic department for 4 years.
Brazing is a dying art it takes alot of skill
Welding=cohesion, brazing=adhesion
I remember you do some videos with Wes. What year was this?
2012-2013 i think
I have to ask, how may "old mechanics" are they in Texas/
Don't know about Texas, but here in Missouri they are dwindling, used to be over a dozen mechanics here in my little town. First define old, I am not 60 yet, if I am included in the old category we have me, Charlie, Tony and Jake. Tony and Jake live outside the city limits, but they are in town a lot. Ha, enjoyment in life, replying to youtube comments. Was lamenting one time about where did all the old timers go, was informed I was one now, heck that was even before i got an AARP card.
This is terrible!
Cleanliness and dryness are the keys.
Coat the two plates, at the join, with de-humdified flux BEFORE you clamp them together for a lap-join like the exapmle.
That will wick the the brazing into the joint.
Fluxed rods are a nightmare, unless you put them in a very hot oven for an half an hour to drive out the water from said flux.
I avoid them.
Flux is deliquessent.
Whatever shop-school you attended were delinquent.
I could do better with a box of matches and foil from a cigarette-packet.
