Very clever and well thought out. Not exactly unexpected for your channel Stefan. I think the full length pins are a good addition. Epoxy does hold well, but it's a brittle glue joint. Drop that magnetic parallel just once and you'd have a minimum of two pieces if your lucky.

Great :( Now I have another project to add to my (already too long) list. Pretty nice idea! I have some epoxy putty, pretty hard but easy to machine and grind, I might try to do the same but using that putty instead of the brass. About the transformer sheet metal, it's high silicon steel too reduce the Eddy currents and hysteresis loss.

how accurate does the length of the hole in the brass for the magnet have to be to the length of the magnet. in other words, does the magnet have to be in contact with the steel pole plates on both sides of the brass??

Stefan, your mismatch with the slitting saw was because you were conventional milling. If the machining setup is rigid enough, climb milling with these type cutters is always dead-on. Do a test sometime and see. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy them all.

Great idea but no shaper action? BTW I believe most modern transformer laminates are made out of silicon iron

@RobertSzasz 7 жыл бұрын

Two thoughts, First, as surface finish makes a big difference in ultimate hold strength, would lapping the magnets and brass plate assembly so there is no gap between the steel and magnet help hold strength? Second, could you make some sort of tongue and groove assembly to slot the brass and steel sheets together? Perhaps you could use the shaper? (you could set up a channel like the Yule Log channel and just let us all watch the shaper do its work)

Interesting. I would have soft soldered the stack, bass and iron can be soldered easily with Soldering-paste (for pipework). And the magnet take no harm with the 300°C. Then no pinning would be needed i think. I did soft solder big parts on an old electric stove with an aliminium plate as flat base. I think i will make one from Galvanized iron sheets. They are often very low carbon steel and cheap. Simply soft solder stacks together and put a magnet in the middle. The zinc and tin are good enough magnetic isolation between the iron plates i think.

Isn't the epoxy like 3000psi shear strength? You don't think the fact it should take almost a ton of force to separate the magnets is enough to hold them together?

@barrygerbracht5077 7 жыл бұрын

Never trust glue. It is a very brittle bond in my experience and should always be backed up by mechanical fasteners. If you dropped them, the shock could break the bond (or just let them snap to the surface). The glue is very strong in the laboratory under static load for sure, but one light tap and it can break. It won't of course if that was the plan. Then it will stick like a SOB, but if you want it to be permanent it won't be.

@bcbloc02 7 жыл бұрын

Barry Gerbracht Better tell most of the auto manufacturers, many of them have been epoxying structural body panels for the last 15+years instead of spot welding because it is stiffer and stronger. I am sure the grade and properties of the epoxy have a huge effect on its performance.

@rengecko 7 жыл бұрын

bcbloc02 surface prep is also critical in automotive chassis applications

@barrygerbracht5077 7 жыл бұрын

+bcbloc02 I think automotive epoxy is softer and a much thicker bond layer to allow for the epoxy to be more plastic instead of very rigid. I have used epoxy (Sikadur 31) to bond steel together and it is very brittle (it failed after applying the design load even though by calculation it should have had massive amounts of bond strength beyond the calculated demand). This was not some simple sticking two hunks of stuff together and hoping it works either. The surfaces were properly prepared and I had done all of the load calculations and shear flow checks to make sure the bond was adequate. No luck. A few well placed fillet welds stitched along the length and they never moved. I know adhesives are used in automotive applications and extensively in aircraft manufacturing. They are not using hardware store epoxies and will have extensively proof tested the assemblies prior to actually using them in production. I would not trust this epoxy and would back it up with some rivets. Once burned so to say...

@pierresgarage2687 7 жыл бұрын

All depends on the grade of epoxy you're using..........!!!! Cheap commonly available stuff isn't gonna glu anything, for serious gluing you need to get industrial products, and, those products aren't available to public. You can look into something like Miller Stephenson MS-907, I've glued parts like 30 + years ago and it still holds, you really need to hammer the parts in order to break the bond... They also have other excellent products like the ones used in automotive or aircraft industries...... ;) www.miller-stephenson.com/chemicals/epoxy-resins/

Brass is pretty expensive... Would aluminum be a possible alternative?

@MysticalDork 7 жыл бұрын

In theory yes, but it's quite a bit softer (easier to mess up the surface/wear it out), it expands more with heat and (IMHO) it doesn't look as nice.

@ChiralSymmetry 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the explanation!

@duobob 7 жыл бұрын

Aluminum does work and is used for making laminated magnets. Brass is often preferred because it is often harder, less prone to scratches and dings, and is less easily corroded (all variable depending on the grades of both metals).

It doesn't seem like Stefan is answering questions on this video anymore (understandable, it's 4 years old!), so if anyone else can answer, that would be cool. They sell these magnets in rectangular shapes. Would those work? I understand you'd still need to surround the magnets with brass, so that you can surface grind the surfaces, but I'm curious if there's anything about the shape of the magnets that would make the "redirecting the direction of magnetic pull" trick work differently (or not at all).

You should NOT use 5-min. epoxy, as it has very low strength. The longest-setting time epoxy will generally have the highest strength. Also, do not use "laminating" epoxy that is used for fiberglass layouts, as it often cures very hard, therefore being brittle when submitted to a shock. The best epoxy is "structural" epoxy.
