Bartholomew Horatio Brunel maybe for you. I could weld that by hand and it would be just fine. 7018 stick rod or TIG with ER-70S-6. I have a welding positioner but I could weld that without using the positioner.
hey tdej80, i have this worn out suzuki samurai crank shaft (journal #1 is about 1mm both sides gone)... i have my TIG... can i build up this thing using the filler you mentioned?
Tsurtz Hill I am not familiar with that crank. If it is forged steel 7018 or ER-70S-6 will work. If it is cast iron you will need 99 nickel rod or the machinable muggy weld or crown alloy T-220. The T-220 would work well on a forged crank because it will be harder and stronger than the steel filler metal selections. Cast or forged you will want to pre-heat. If you get back to me with some more info I will do my best to point you in the right direction.
We use a carbon rod in the oil holes to keep from welding the oil holes up. Also wondering why not hold the rear of the crank? Does that help it from bending?
Hi Sir, how are you doing? I'm from Germany and I love the work and effort you're putting into this old crankshaft this is pure craftsmanship, wonderful! I wonder if you would be able to weld and polish and align and balance a BMW V8 crankshaft for me? How much would you charge and would you accept my crankshaft for repairs if I sent it to you from Germany? Would love to hear from you! Best wishes from Germany, Ahmad
hello friend i'm from Brazil, here it is very difficult to get this kind of information, i work with a crankshaft ratifier and got a machine similar to yours to make this weld could you tell me the wire model and the flux you are using so that I can test on my equipment, thank you very much
Hi sir , how are you doing ? I'm from morocco and i work in grinding crankshaft there is 24years old , i love this area ,i'm looking for this machine of wilding crankshaft , long Time , Can help me plaise .thanks
@@leosnake Great! If you interested in repairing a crankshaft for me can you give me a price? It needs one rod throw welded and I believe the others just need polishing.
There is probably a good reason for this proces but isn,t TIG a better proces for this? Just saying there would be no more flux to worry about, the deposit would be perfect and You could see what You are welding
Old School still cool, still works! Great video, very informative! Thank you.
Did this type of job for 20 years weld ,grinding and polish
Your are a skilled man blayt
Hey that’s a 5.7 hemi crank, nice!
I have one of these machines. very handy.
It is called submerged arc welding and the sand is the flux

please forgive my oversight it could be cast steel also.
Thanks a lot tdej80 for the info... I will, if ever I decide to do it. -Have a nice day

This is called submerged arc welding correct?, I've only seen a few videos of it but it's super interesting
What a cool procedure
how do you hardened the surface ? otherwise is soft as butter.... right ? :)
If you would be so kind as to enlighten those of us that have no clue about the sand
Skeets K its poured so that air oxygen doesnt attack the hot metal
Well I just learned some thing,,thank you
though it looks like sand it is actually flux...980 flux with a mild steel wire is what I use on a Gleason m1 machine...
Its called submerged arc welding or S.A.W. proccess. The sand is actually flux covering the wire being applied
it's the same as the flux that is covering the welding rod
Looking good, how do I grid a crankshaft journal for a undersize rod bearing to fit.
Typically you can't DIY that, you need to take your crank to an automotive machine shop with the right equipment.

I apologize for the late reply. We can perform the repairs to your crankshaft...How many journals need repair?

We get the welding flux from Hopper 1 800 932 5356.
Dependent on the material you are welding, just call the Lincoln help line. They will let you know what you need.
Google your machine's manufacturer get all info necessary to make your machine work as intended.🙃
I would think he would use some ceramic tape over the oil passages to insure no flux works its way into places it is not wanted.
tapping for stress relief or slag removal?
Slag removal
I wanna ask about rotation speed and feed speed of the welding wire , can someone help me please
Thanks. Is this arc welding ?
I have a honda blackbird two big end journals need this process what is this process cost
Are you local? Can you bring the crankshaft down?
Yes
Non grinding. Crankshaft and polishing
So much for the fillet hardness
I wouldn’t put any torque on this sucker or it would crack in two
