I'm a junior in high school. I decided to take welding this year and I think its one of the best decisions iv made! I'm not to shabby at it either, my teacher said I have a natural borne talent for it lol. I love welding so much that after high school I want to take it up as a profession!
When brazing (recently got started with it in my HS welding class, flux coated rod) I only have one question...is there supposed to be any sparks coming from the torch and filler rod? Or is that a sign of improper technique?
i watched the whole thing...i thought it looked like he was just melting the rod on top of cold steel... i love the camera work.it shows me how the puddle goes to the heat. im going to practice byy welding a fake cat for my jeep...
My teacher ALSO said to get a pool of molten steel going BEFORE you start melting the filler rod into it. This weld looks pretty but it's not structural. I think you're just melting steel onto non-molten steel.
@mographzach We never used oxyfuel for code welding. Read the description, this is not how to weld but I was learning the camera. These welds are not good and I didn't do them. I agree they are shallow
That a swell job of gas welding. Question? Did you use some sort of flux for the steel welding. Im learning how to do this and don't know where to get any answers.
@honeybunchickens you used flux for brazing and most of the time the flux is already put on the rod, its like a white, thick powder coat. if your bazing rod doesnt have flux, you just have to dip your rod in flux
@tacokiller101 Thanks i finely got a answer 2 weeks later. I actually did some more research and found out that using isotropic alcohol is best for cleaning the rod and surface area. And just a rod that looks like copper on the outside and look like steel on the inside works best for mild steel gas welding. Of course setting the flame to a neutral flame is the best flame and hottest flame for welding.
@mrshroompwr I try to go as straight up and down as i can myself (90 degrees). this is not me doing the welding. I would say it's ok but no more than 45 for sure. you should be able to tell while your welding what works best.
@karavshin Yes there are a couple the best one prolly is on the cobra torch one on welding same principal as regular torch. I think there is a little on some others.
your procedure in brazing was so wrong, because your flame was to far from the molten pool, and it should be a slight neutral, because the purpose is to melt down your rod into the workpiece. But your gas welding good and you got the right procedure.
if I had a chance to cover by video all of my demonstration I will do it as soon as possible just to let you know.
@warlyeduvane This is not me I'm only video recording it. That's not all brass some is copper and brazon and stainless and other stuff and we were just trying to get some cool looking shots like it says in the description. Really where you are brazing if there is a molten puddle than it's too hot for brazing properly. If the base metal is molten the it's not brazing it's bronze welding. These shots are just unused footage not really trying to teach.
@freddytk421 hey! do you know what is molten pool? a melted part of you are going to heat, so meaning if the brazing rod was melted and it looks like a water then thats what you call a molten pool. OK?
@warlyeduvane The molten pool is the little round bit of liquid metal on the base metal. It's the part the fire is pointed at but not the rod you drip the metal from the rod into the molten pool.
Here is an interesting question ... is metal magnetic in its molten state? I wonder if you can make a "Puddle" move up hill using a magnet on the reverse side of the work piece. can you make a proof of concept vid?
No it's not magnetic well before it gets molten. I forgot the word used it's like austinetic or something but the atoms align differently at different temps and thats what causes it be magnetic and non-magnetic. I took a class on that a while back and don't remember too much more than that. I do know that one way to test a blade or hammer if it's the correct temp for annealing is to hold a magnet to it and if it does not stick it's ready so. NO (4:51 thats pretty good I could not watch it all)
@freddytk421 Thanks, appreciate it (again). I have a question for you RE: material that can be welded. I got this Kawasaki KLF220 Bayou I'm working on for a friend. I got it running for her perfect but she has a piece of the differential damaged. I am pretty sure it is white metal... can that be welded? I thought it could be aluminum but I doubt it. If white metal can't be welded I will just use some J.B. Weld (I LOVE that stuff). If it can be welded I will send it out.
Have you tried holding a magnet to it? If it's white pot metal you could braze it with that brazon stuff and if it's aluminum you can use that alumiweld stuff. buy hey if JB weld will work why not that stuff its easy as pie.
@freddytk421 Hrmmmm maybe I'm not using the right name for it. It is not magnetic, but I don't think it's aluminum. It seams very poris I always thought it was called white metal. It's cast something anyways... LoL
I'll ask her what route she wants to go, who knows, she may want me to change it out all together. I personally think the JB Weld will do fine, up to her how she wants me to fix it.
Its like im in a trance when I watch this video, cant wait to get my own tanks and start making some art, this might very well be an addiction. Great video!!
Great Videos and great camera work - I have never been able to see the details of the weld pool or the micro effects of brazing - Well Done! and Thanks!
Is the flux used, Borax?

@idusclothing I think the person doing this uses borax. I use some kinda flux that the label fell off a long time ago so I don't know what it is.

why did you put all that flux on the bronze rod instead of dipping it every time? doesn't it melt and make a film of plastic on the brazing?
that welding in the beginning looks very good though. i am jealous. i wish i could make such a beautiful weld!
