You need to fully bevel both sides and guarantee 100% penetration. And just as a side note- IF anyone is thinking about doing wheel repair... If you weld repair a rim for any kind of automobile and it fails on the road causing ANY kind of injury- you are fully liable.
So far I've seen you and a European guy from the UK that has done the exact same thing I'm curious to know can I use JB weld if I don't have a TIG well
all rims made with different metal or all the same cuz ik certian metal gets hotter faster im still learning to tell the diferents to not mess up a project
Lmmfao, depends on who welds it, what kind of day they were having, how good the roads are that you drive on, how good the weld prep was, hell might even depend on how much coffee the welder had that morning. I've been doing it for a living since 1991, and I wouldn't trust anyone to weld an aluminum rim. Buy a NEW one.
That depends. Maybe $100-200. But if it's not perfect... Could cost you the knowledge that it's all your fault when it fails on the road and someone gets hurt. Plus the cost if DOT finds out it was welded... Not with it
@texsales01 alloy rims are not too soft. The car owner should have seen whatever did that. And if it was a pothole, here in Oregon I have seen the state, city or county pay for the damages
Yup, it depends on how thick of material you are going to weld and your skill level. Best advice for ANYONE who wants to TIG weld at home: go take a beginning TIG welding class. Or if you know someone who has considerable skill (actually TIG welds for a living) ask if they can teach you
aluminum stick you have to weld only on one side on the other side you just need to weld it so that air does not form there, you just need to weld it until a homogeneous mass
@@furmantucker4989 Sir, a TIG welding machine that won't weld aluminum is worthless. Go to a welding supply store and look at machines. Or look at one if the TH-cam channels that does reviews on welders. I wouldn't buy anything but Miller myself. But every co.pany that makes quality welding machines sells a TIG welder that has AC. You need to shop around and see what you can afford. What I would buy for myself for is most likely out of your price range. (Between $5,000 and $8,000) Even the cheapest wire feed welder I would buy is $2,500 and most people say that's to spendy for a garage welder. Once again, shop around, talk to a welding supply store. Find out what machine will do what you need and you can afford.
Tungsten truly doesn't matter. Tungsten size matters depending on how hot your going to run. As far as filler, depends on how you finish it. Paint? Polish? Anodize?
But, personally, as a guy who has been TIG welding since 1991 (aerospace, job shops and even some nuclear) I would NEVER use rims I knew someone had welded on and wouldn't weld my own. There is always a chance, maybe a miniscule chance, but still a chance something can go wrong on the road. If someone gets hurt, that shit is on me. No weld shop I ever have worked for allowed anyone to weld rims on there property. Didn't matter if they were your own rims. Makes the company liable for damages. Trust me, The didn't care how good you were or how many aerospace certifications you had That right there should tell you wether to let someone you have no idea what their skill level is weld your rims, or just buy new ones. Up to you
Blaser Builds..In fact, you should have heated everywhere around the repair area before welding... with a torch....as aluminum is such a heat sink...and grinding the weld on the outside served only to weaken the weld and was useless...just saying...
Probably the best repair I've ever seen, you really went out of your way to make it perfect and I love it.
Nice you take pride in your work looks great i got some 26s that need help
Looks great Ryan!
Well done sir ❗ it turned out great
😊////you did a fantastic job///I got to get some welding done on my back wheel on my it's got multiple///cracks in the wheels///are you local I'll bring my will to you???
Yo that’s actually really good 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great job , 👍 the best repair
Nice tip and dip. Nice work
Nice work hopefully I don't wake up to welders flash from watching lol.
Nice job dude!!!
Cold welding rims with only one pass/side will cause the next cracks! You can fill gaps,but cause enormous tensions.
Excellent repair what filler number did you use?
Excellent job
Do you try to match alloys? Which did you use and why?
You need to fully bevel both sides and guarantee 100% penetration.
And just as a side note- IF anyone is thinking about doing wheel repair... If you weld repair a rim for any kind of automobile and it fails on the road causing ANY kind of injury- you are fully liable.
Whose liable about the crack wheel, in the 1st palce ???
dude you're a pro
Is that wheel thicker than 1/4 inch & What welding machine are you using?
Respect is due... 👍
So far I've seen you and a European guy from the UK that has done the exact same thing I'm curious to know can I use JB weld if I don't have a TIG well
what is your settings on the machine
Good job
What would you have charged to perform this repair?
I wanna know what filler and how many amps?
with how many amps do you weld that rim
Wow nice work sir 👏
Thanks a lot
Merci frère
The backyard wheel doctor!!
Wat size of filler rod did u use?
My respects brother
How much you charge to do this?
Where are you located ?
When you cut the line next to the crack I was like 😱😱
Can I use an electric wielder?!
What king of tig rod was you using to weld the rim.
That how u repair a rim. I’m bringing my back to the cowboy who repaired my.
Perfectly done.👍👍
Great job, what welder did you use?
Eastwood tig200 digital
@@BlaserBuilds what filler rod did you use and also what amps were set on
Wat machine settings did u use for this project and how many amps is your machine?
they won't answer that secret info they will say it depends on your welder humm 120v 220v ?
Can I weld my rims with the same welder i use to weld steel?
You need AC (alternating current) setting to weld aluminum.
all rims made with different metal or all the same cuz ik certian metal gets hotter faster im still learning to tell the diferents to not mess up a project
New aluimum wheel: what stops the new wheel from cracking in the future
Isit safe?
🔥🔥🔥
What welder are you using?
Eastwood TIG200 digital.
How much would you charge me to do 2 rims with multiple cracks
I can do it are they aluminum ?
👍👍
Can i weld rims with mig welder
You can, but you require aluminum wire, argon gas and a load of practice.
How much would something just like that would cost ?
About $75 to $45. Depends on the welder.
I got charged 200 for a bent rim
I charge 70 for 1 to 3 cracks after 3 it's time to replace the wheel
I have the exact same crack. How much would this cost
I did it for them for free.
$60
Dude... Have you seen how close your trigger finger is to the back side of that grinder disc? That is an accident waiting to happen.
Bro how long it will last??
A lifetime if you don’t use it.
Lmmfao, depends on who welds it, what kind of day they were having, how good the roads are that you drive on, how good the weld prep was, hell might even depend on how much coffee the welder had that morning.

@texsales01 nah, I run aluminum 15" with 37" tires. I've never bent one offloading. But then I know how to drive....
Really good job on this.
About how much would this cost to get done?
That depends. Maybe $100-200. But if it's not perfect... Could cost you the knowledge that it's all your fault when it fails on the road and someone gets hurt. Plus the cost if DOT finds out it was welded... Not with it
@@roydunn4649 well dot should not let them sell alloy rims anyway its to soft
@texsales01 alloy rims are not too soft. The car owner should have seen whatever did that. And if it was a pothole, here in Oregon I have seen the state, city or county pay for the damages
Most be his first time
Who can tell me what is perfect amps for weldin machine
Every machine is different. So practicing we’ll help.

Can anybody tell me what kind of machine I need to tig weld rims?
A TIG welder......
@@roydunn4649 not every tig welder welds in alternating current. I was looking for specific welder.

El trabajo operacional está dirigido muy bueno lo único que requiere es seguridad personal él esmeril debe tener proctetor del disco

in 70years never had a cracked steel wheel !!!
I love your work. But please think about wearing gloves for power tools man. You just never know. Great video. Keep them coming.
damn, can you drive on that or just practice?
Should be good.
So you just use autognoes*(sp) welding for cleaning and then you come in with filler on the second pass?..interesting thankss👍👍👍
Yep, run the arc over to clean some junk out then fill.
@@BlaserBuilds one more question if you happen to have the time,any recommendations on a machine?
