What a great idea! You've relieved the stresses in the metal that caused the crack in the first place, then put metal back in to keep it from flexing any more.
Well done!
-
i don't agree. i need to see research on how this is just as strong as welding.
-
For everyone screaming, WELD IT... Try welding greasy cast iron on an engine installed in a ship or tank where it would take days or WEEKS to remove engine, disassemble, vat and weld. Then assemble and put engine back in... This is the best alternative in a lot of cases.
-
@jackthehatphoto I agree. Welding would be MUCH stronger than super glue.
-
I seen this being done 30+ years ago at sea, it held together fine, and I still think it is very impressive guys..
Thom in Scotland.

take it to a real welker he will weld that for ever

this kinda sucks i dont like this sorry

Am I missing something? This repair adds no strength whatsoever. A simple drill hole at the end of the crack would prevent the crack getting any worse. The only benefits I can see from this sort of repair are:
1. It looks good
2. It will prevent leakage through the crack should the item being repaired be an engine block or pump for example.
A weld will do the above and add strength too. A weld is also much cheaper.

My father is a welder/fabricator. He described this process to me but I had never seen it done. I appreciate being able to see it in a nicely described and well lit video! Thank you for sharing this!

....this could be worsen if its done at the compressed area of the engine... I'd stick with welding.
