hho safety

just anothe hho video that may help some people avoid flashback and to see the power of the smaller hho torches. using the h2-drytube minitorch @ 250 watts 3 LPM.

love that torch ... thing kicks some butt ...

I think the weld is made brittle from the exposure to hydrogen ... I have done some experimentation with a few inert gas mixes that seem to have some promise, but my skill at welding is so primitive that I am not sure it is effective ... might be something you would want to try ...

thanks, the new drytube design really kicks out some gas.

I have heard of bubbling through acetone or other solvents. but like you, im am not a professional welder...

[ggreazy870]

@mbaqader yes.

[mbaqader]

is it possible to use it for cars instsde of fuel?

Well, you wonder if brazing would work, but suspect that it would, based on your PB/SN solderinig. Sad to say, but PB/SN soldering is actually brazing. Not with bronze, but with PB/SN.

Soldering is fusing two similar metals together. Brazing is no more than "metal glue", wether it is bronze in between two iron pieces or PB/SN in between two copper (or copper made, like bronze or brass) parts.

:O))

Try welding regular mild steel, not zinc coated screws. Zinc messes up a weld. I'd like to see that...

Hydrogen imbrittlement.

Part 2:

C) For good metal welding the flame contains to much oxygen; you are oxidizing the weld you may solve this by producing the gasses separately, and apply to the tip a mix with up to 5 times more H2.

Soldering works great but therefore is this super hot flame a bit overkill.

For doing juwelery it's fine.

Also for plastic flame-polishing (it's sootless).

...and turbo patato cannons. ;-)

Keep on bubbling.

Part 1:

Good vid, underlining the safety isues,

can't been done enough.

You can not weld those screws, because :

A) They seemed galvanized.

B) Hydroxy is not the best gasmix to weld, the flame is very hot but the energy content is low, therefor some hydroxy welders-snake- oil-salesmen used an extra bubbler with an alcohol, like methanol, that will also give the colorless flame a visable color.

[SmartScarecrow]

things I have tried in the bubbler that got what looked like interesting results when casually viewed were, rubbing alcohol, mineral oil, xylene and carbonated water ... inert gases I have attempted that produced some interesting results are argon, nitrogen and carbon dioxide ... maybe some afternoon when you got nuthin' else to do ???
