- I've had this new to me TeroDyn thermal flame spray welding kit for a while and I finally get it properly mounted to my oxy-fuel cart. This is an updated version of the spray welding torch I have always shown and plan to use this one from here on out. I'll get it mounted to the cart and make a test weld with it to make sure it working correctly. This will be used for shaft repair jobs.

CZcams has been a pleasant surprise as a go-to for both entertainment and learning during this pandemic with very little to watch on TV during our down time. I have really enjoyed watching Adam's channel as I have always been fascinated with machining and fabrication.....I was lucky enough to actually do some hands on machining for two years during shop class in high school.....that's what hooked me. Thanks for sharing Adam, be safe.
TV sucks. its literally someone else telling you what to watch. youtube = YOU watch what YOU want when you want and no commercials
Wow! It's amazing how metal can be moved, shaped, twisted, bent, go Adam, keep it going.
I am an SME (Subject Matter Expert) in the thermal spray field and enjoy helping people succeed in their goals. I’m happy to help anyone who asks😊👍🏻
There are about a hundred questions in these comments that a "SME in thermal spray" would be able to answer. Get to work!!
@@paulcopeland9035 I’m trying! If anyone has any direct questions they can find my email address within my thermal spray videos on my channel. I don’t want to impolitely take focus away from this great video 😊👍🏻
@@jamesweber7001 ....Excellent!
ADAM, PLEASE READ THIS
I work in thermal spray R&D, and I'm very concerned about your setup from a safety point of view.
It didn't look like you were wearing a respirator for this work, and it didn't look like you have adequatr air extraction.
The thermal spray process kicks out a lot of dust and fume, which gets absolutely everywhere, and it will wreck your lungs and/or give you cancer unless you put proper engineering controls in place. The 21031 is particularly bad, as it's a stainless alloy, and generates hexavalent chromium, which is a carcinogen. You do not want to breath that stuff in. The combustion process also generates carbon monoxide, and while flame spray is not much worse than just running a cutting torch, it put a friend of mine in hospital because he was doing it in an enclosed space without proper ventilation when working at a customers facility.
Ideally thermal spray work would be performed in a dedicated spray booth, with air extraction that will pull 1 air change per minute at a rate of 1m/s at the hood, passing the extracted air through a HEPA type filter so it catches the dust. The ASM Thermals Spray Society has a free pdf on booth design, which I've used previously for speccing new spray labs.
If that isn't possible, an LEV arm connected to an extraction fan would be better than nothing, and at least you can position it to catch the overspray. In both cases though, you NEED to wear a respirator when you're spraying, typically P3 or N95. Air fed is best, but a properly fitting half face respirator will also work, and is a lot cheaper.
I hope you don't take this to be condescending or patronising. I love your channel, uou've taught me a lot, and I would hate to see you develop health issues from something that is entirely preventable.
All the best from the UK mate, keep up the good work.
Glad I made it here before someone complained about welding a cart with bottles on it. Must be a fluke, I thought they just appeared as soon as you posted! Keep up the good work man.
One has already cropped up.
I love how Adam's "test piece" looks like a work of art. Adam, you should offer it up to someone at random as a gift. It would make a nice benefit for your supporters or subscribers. Maybe split it in half down the long axis for two give aways !
Great video thanks. Felt wrong without the intro and outro music though Adam. Cheers.
Way back in the '70s we had a machine shop that used the same as your old gear, to build up and restore run-in inner bearing race location on Lotus Europa rear outer stub axles. This looks like a better system. Metallization saved thousands of total dollars for clients.
Airbrush with fire... neat!
Not many people do spray welding, nice to have in your arsenal.
I've used a very similar Eutectic metal spray gun (not sure of model) to flame apply powdered nylon66 in a lathe to steel parts for rust and chemi proofing, or insulation. Various reasons. It works well.
hi adam if you use a round piece of body sheet the size of your 4 jaw chuck and cut a hole the size of your shaft slide it over and up to your chuck use 4 neomidium magnets to hold it to the chuck when you spray weld you get none on your chuck keeps that side of your lathe clean cheers from down under
How many people are thinking, geez if I only knew this method existed I would have saved a lot. Nice work man.
not me
I have bought dozens of shafts that could have been repaired this way. Its not common in shops today and I dont understand why because its such an efficient way to repair a worn shaft.
@@dustinmurdock276 Does not always work. Poor shear. Flakes off.
I love tig welding, no annoying spatter.
Adam, glad you have the new sprayer. I first started watching your videos with you doing a spray weld job. Look forward to watching more content on spray welding. I don't weld but I do find the spray welding to be extremely fascinating. Cheers
I'm sure this video will be as popular as the other spray welding ones? They are always a crowd pleaser. I must admit i like watching the metalising process. Keep up the good work Adam
I enjoyed watching this ingenious process. When I see Abom working his magic, I think of the Roman god Vulcan busy in his workshop deep under Mt. Etna, projecting sparks up through the crater’s vent and into the night sky over Sicily.
I like the design of the old Soviet wire arc spraying guns. They are very simple, only requiring a welding transformer and an air compressor to work.
Used those in 1980 and they save customers a lot of money.
I used a system very much like this one to repair cast iron parts of 149 MTU v16s. The torch was like an ordinary oxy acetalin cutting torch with a socket on top for the powder bottle.
Agri-Tool & Supply is having a huge sale of their powders right now (About $3 a LB) :)
With all your friends in the industry and creators you know it would be cool to see you guys make some original machines. It would be awesome to watch from the foundry to the machining. Cool stuff thought, keep it up!
Wow, the finish came out way nicer than I have ever seen a build up redone before. and operation is smooth, enjoyed, cheers! Congrats on 462K subs, you the man Abom!
Excellent work from start to finish as usual Adam, hope to see more of your great content soon!
Hope you and Abby have a great Thanksgiving. LOVE THE VIDEO ADAM
Top tip. If You use open handles on the gascarrige and wind the gas hose in a figure eigth style You won't have to twist the gun....;)
I use the 21071 on just about everything. I love the stuff
I am working with a science lab who is working on cold spray welding. Takes the material to Mach5 with helium or nitrogen.
Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
Another South African here!
Abomb workin’ in the addition, yes!
Abom79, I see that you have mastered the TIG gun. That looks like very good welds.
I never really cared for the Starrett digital stuff. The ones I've used always went through batteries very quickly.
You're gonna make some people jealous with that Royal live center.
What would have been interesting is if you simulated severely damaged threads and cut the new ones off and spray welded it back to a diameter suitable for the original thread size and thread that, especially if you had an original nut to test
Great setup. Works well. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Yet another great video, thanks for sharing the new piece of equipment Adam!
Both products very impressive!
As you Retire your Rototec I am just getting started with mine. I have near 50+ powders to play with.
Tony leaves his die filer always running and Adam does the same with his lathe :D
Man you're proud out your equipment and I like it 😉
Amazing technique! Thanks for giving us mere mortals a view of Prometheus' forge!! :-D
Beautiful work on the shaft!! Bravo.
I used that system long time ago and it is very efficient!
i would like to have a look through some glasses when your doing a build up.
Thanks Adam, great vid. Nice to see the comparison with the other gun. Any chance that when you do one of those future vids that you could film through a filter [I know it's tricky] so we can see the view you do, of the metal depositing on the surface? Thanks again. Stay safe, all of you.
Also note that this isn’t welding, this is a sprayed coating with a mechanical and somewhat Van der Waals forces bond. But many people call it “spray welding”. That being said, some of these coatings can be welded on via post heating to cherry red. He did spray and awesome aluminum bronze coating though; super nice 👍🏻 job 😊👍🏻😊👍🏻
Or is it the NiAlMo 21021? Machines nice and looks like CuAlFe bronze in the video
Great job Adam, enjoyed watching and learning. Fred.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Adam, Awesome really enjoyed watching thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
You really should wear a mask when making these videos... no, not because of COVID (there’s nobody else in the shop).... because you’re obviously a superhero!
Always wondered about this process, very cool process to repair worn metal...
I sent two terrodyne 2000 guns and a car load of castolin eutectic stuff down Florida way about a year ago, I hope this is some of it that found its way to you.
you have some of the coolest tools and toys!
My dad liked eutectic products, I’ve used the too, good stuff.
Thanks Adam! Looking forward to seeing the spray gun in be action.
BTW: those bottles of powder for the spray welding look suspiciously like Cajun spicy shrimp/fish seasoning powder! Don’t get them mixed up! 😏
Found you from Trenton and Heath. Great channel thanks
impressive stuff Abom! and, you need to smile more. you have a great smile. :)
I have a quick safety question for you. How long since the fire bottle was serviced? I used to service them. They have a nasty habit of packing. Vibrations in their environment and the 100 PSI or so tends to pack the powder. A rubber mallet tapping the base side, the shoulder, and then the bottom until the sound it makes is like a balloon. A bouncing resonant sound. This indicates it's ready for use. I have serviced many shops where they needed it, but it spit a little powder and clogged. I recommend a quarterly beating. :-)
A valid point, in any machine shops, especially ones that weld and flame cut.
Used to do machine work in a armature shop , did alot of metalizing with a metco set up. Enjoy your channel
Very impressive equipment. Love your videos Adam.
Abom79 on a day that isn’t Saturday, woo!
Such a cool process!
Nice setup @abom looks great.
Very nice, a worthwhile investment, it will save you money in the first few jobs.
Subscribed hoping to see more of this spray set up. The torch mount on the cart places the nozzle close to the fuel hose. Maybe throw a tie on the fuel line to ensure it wont contact a hot nozzle.
This would save a lot of money on axle shafts
I think that Terodyn will be the bees knees. Looks like buildup under a bearing race will make sleeves not so needed.
since learning about this process, i love hearin ppl say that phrase "u can always take metal away, u cant put it back..." :p i didnt always know about the spray welding process, but i have known about welding for a long time n have always wondered how that phrase became a phrase because weldings n additive process.. even before that there was soldering.. so thats always been a strange phrase to me
Hi Adam, have you ever tried using the masking compound on parts for heat treatment in your oven to see if it stops surface oxidation? Instead of wrapping them in SS foil. Stay safe and well :)
One of baddest tools in the shop. ✌
That was great Adam - I always look forward to your videos! Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving wishes to you and your family!
Can you spray metalize things other than shaft for bearing or seals? How about a hard surface on something that you would mill the face on?
Nice additive process in a trade of moving metal. Im sure you know this but a Y connector would let you have your cutting or brazing torching hooked while your gun is still attached. Great vid
True but another set of hoses would be needed.
I see some over-shaping and metalizing of the steam-stoker engine coming in the future!!
No opening music? just right ta business! no messing about!!!!!
How hard is that surface when your done?
very good video..thanks for your time
Wouldnt your high stepping welding positioner be better to spray weld on? I know you cover everything before and wipe down after, but...... you know.
Great content Adam, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one after the first of the year, that really is a nice unit I've been doing my homework on them and the alloys I'm able to use.
Could you do this again on a test piece showing what happens if you don't follow proper steps? One section with no preheat one section with no undercut and one section with neither preheat or undercut.
Nice gas flow meter !
You gotta love new tools!
I used one of those thermal sprays back in the early 80s, I think it worked ok , but its been a long time ,
Good demonstration Adam, Thank you
I am surprised you did not machine a relief into your shaft so that when you tightened the finger screw T handle you would not scuff up the shaft so you could not remove the spray gun?
Am I seeing more smoke than the old gun or am I imaging things? The old one had a lot of particle flying around, this is more like a solid yellow flame with dark smoke. Looks different in my eyes, but if it work, all is good.
after getting familiar with tig i flinch every time you spark up
Very cool stuff!! Love that metal spray!!
Impressive as always.
Nice piece of kit man. Spray welding is awesome to see, And that cylinder came out great!
I noticed you switched to 60p videos and it's giving me a choppy bar in the middle of the screen now. Makes it harder to watch than 30p. Not sure if it's on my end or yours tho
It's on your end. 60fps is glorious
Not here..
yup, youre right. restarted and it's fine now
Makes me wonder what the impact of electric power steering has. In a straight line it shouldn't be pulling any amps.
Nice job as always Adam. I want to get one of those to practice with to see if I can build up a crankshafts on old farm equipment
You can use this on some engine parts including cranks 😊
Nice addition to the shop there. How are you liking your new royal center? I can remember when you showed that, you were happy to get it.
Would that process work on the stroker engine? if the welds that are there do not hold up
Just an observation, could you make a handy dandy holder on the lathe to hold the gun like you did the cart? I know you'd still have to swivel the gun for even heating but it might be more even heating? I'm in no way a machinist
it was common to hold the torch and use screw feed to spray long objects - longest I sprayed was around 4' on a 5" Ø
That would be awesome for repairing hydraulic ram cylinders that have pitted. Make it all new again. Lol👍👍
adam.. any chance of screwing some gator clips to the ceiling behind the lathes.. so you can hang a fiberglass welding blanket from the ceiling to protect anything behind the lathe..
it would be a cool experiment to try and build up material on the threads
Thermal spray repair on threads usually isn’t the best method. Welding or sleeves/coils would be better 😊👍🏻
Looks like it did a great job.
What a great video Adam thanks for putting it out there for all of us to see I have a question about how you determine the RA finish on things that you machine on your shaper or The spray welding
I've always heard the term "Spray Weld", an always wondered how they did it. Thank you for easing a curious mind. That's really cool. Now, would they use this on an engines crankshaft?
Very informative :) Keep up the production on theese awesome videos /best regards Sweden.
