I have watched many welding channels and keep coming back to yours. Your videos are no nonsense and to the point with simple language that anybody can understand. I mostly mig weld but had a go at Tig and I loved it so I am going to start learning that as well. I'm waiting for my welder to arrive its a multi process which is much better than my straight mig I brought from my brother for 200 bucks. We all have to start somewhere! Keep up the awesome work.

When I worked at Maersk Container Industry in Denmark back in the late 90's, we mig brazed the thin outer shell of the sandwich panels of the reefers to the bottom rails. I didn't realize untill now what it actually was. It was primarily done by machine (welder on rails guided by a roller on the edge of the panel), but in the beginning in particular, there would be a lot of repairs needed afterwards, as there was sealant under the edge of the panel that sometimes leaked out and disturbed the brazing. But it makes sense. The panels were already spot welded to the rails, so there wasn't much to gain from welding the edge, as it just needed to be sealed before being spray galvanized (molten zink being sprayed onto the reefers by robots) and painted.

There are brazing alloys to braze aluminum, but pretty sure silicon bronze is a no...i think the brazing alloys for aluminum are zinc-based, maybe with magnesium.

Silicon bronze doesn't work on aluminum. It's stainless steel, but it does look a lot like aluminum in the video. As far as rods for aluminum, the ones I've seen are called alumiweld and Aladdin 3 in 1. They just work with a propane or MAPP torch. I have a video on the channel about them, they work fairly well.

Do you have a video about welding pipe? Building my own turbo kit with a lot of pie cuts, using MIG, flat welding I have down, but my gun control moving around the pipe is crap and I’m not staying consistent.
@TimWelds
@TimWelds 2 жыл бұрын
I don't have a video about thin tubing. I've welded pie cuts before, but only with TIG. Try welding in short segments (1"-2"), repositioning in between so that you can maintain your stickout and gun angle. One of the biggest problems when welding out of position is that the wire speed and voltage often need to be a bit lower than the recommended settings. For example, the recommended settings on every Miller I've had are on the hot side, which works in the flat and horizontal position, but turns into a mess on vertical and overhead. I usually just move down 1-2 material thicknesses and that gets me in the ballpark. Hope this helps!
