Ha ! I was a machinist in the Australian outback Opal fields 20 years ago I'm looking at some Tungsten facing tool he's braised on some bar . I smashed some Tungsten off a deep ground rock drill with a big hammer once looking for some nice sharp bits to weld onto a bar to use on my lathe for a job.. That was well over 20 years ago and I'm still using that tool for different jobs today.. Well done boys...!
Scrap in the west but these guys are using what they've got to get it done. You've gotta be impressed with them for keeping the vehicles going. I can't wait to see them fixing a Tesla!
Ah Ian. Nice to hear you reminiscing. Not many have first hand memories of those good old days. lol. These repairs bring to mind the wise advice of enjoying watching a rodeo. Don't look too close.

Yes that bad boy sure was cracked and it still took 135 tons to snap it and who knows how long they drove it that way if that weld is just 70% of what it was new it will last long enough to more than offset the cost of the repair and after overloading it and driving it over what would be called a jeep trail in the USA along with all the other abuse they throw at it it will do just what they EXPECT to do it will SNAP and then it will go to the shop and the whole process will start over again IF IT WASN'T PROFITABLE THEY WOULD NOT DO IT that's just the economy there they roll with with what they have and they do it QUITE WELL within the parameters with witch they have to work HATS OFF TO THESE HARD WORKING MEN
Yep high cycle fatigue. The lines you see are Leuder lines, like lines on a sandy beach. They show how the crack progressed with each cycle of loading.
Hasn't anybody else notice that there wasn't a ground clamp on the axle when he was welding on it? In all these videos there's never a ground lead attached to the part in the lathe. These professionals are grounding the welded part with the ground lead attached to the lathe frame. I was taught eons ago that you NEVER grounded through a bearing. The best way ever to trash all the bearings in that lathe.
It is not that I do not believe, but I want to see the truck loaded with half the tons that broke this axle and hit a pothole in the road at 35 miles per hour
Especially with this kind of material, based on how the first part machined. It was acting like it was heat-treated alloy steel, e.g. something like 4140 or similar.

It broke in the exact same spot it was welded once before. There were no penetration welds, simply surface welds. It will break there again as these people do not have the skill to do the job properly.
Down right scary. Totally agree, no penetration especially not even preheating that thick material. This is where the axle breaks under load and the poor guy next to the truck gets crushed.
there's a reason they put a solid axle of this size on the vehicle. dab welding two bits together is not an acceptable repair, fancy spline pin not withstanding
@@fuzzjunky That's not entirely true. The repair can be properly made if you know how to weld. Even though they "vee" joint, their welds are only surface welds. They are not really penetrating the metal. If this was welded properly, with deep penetrating welds, it would hold much better. But remember, they are also regularly overloading these vehicles.
Well I am a professional engineer so take it from me their repairs are junk for customers that just overload the vehicle again and break it again. Idiots feeding off idiots.
A lot of professionals do watch as we are interested in engineering differences, this is not engineering hardly any heat in the shaft completely out of balance even at 3pm-h this will be shaking it’s self apart and if they try to overload the axle again at least it won’t make it to the road where it would kill more then only the driver, just because they can stick things together does not make it useable for the job it’s intended for, axle already has a crap repair so they don’t learn anyway
Actually in America it's weight limits that saves all American truckers, and Canadian. Can't speak for Mexico. I'm sure most of Europe understands weight limits. These people dumbfounded
that nice new accurate lathe wont be like that for long as the crap from the grinding disk ruins everything it slowly abrades from its present precision.
stick some brass in your ways. besides, its my impression that heavy machinery is nearly free over there like electronics in shenzen. the shipping and customs is what gets you when having it brought overseas.

I worked at a shop in N. Dakota in the mid sixties and they welded new ends on truck differentials all the time. Never had a failure… they told me. Kinda scary seeing a differential spinning around on a 24 inch lathe. I was the errand boy picking up and delivering diffs to the truck repair shop.
@DX Commander Yes, of course, I realize that I am complaining about free content. Constructive criticism intended only and I do have the choice to watch other creators as well.
Brakes aren't designed to stop heavy trucks. The transmissions are. Brakes are secondary to properly driving the truck, meaning understanding what gear to be in and being able to downshift along with the brakes. Brakes alone will NEVER stop a heavy truck. This is the reason they have manual transmissions (aside from the fact that manual tranny's can also handle a bigger load).
Well, big mouth, I've given you 4 months to figure out you're wrong. For example; ever notice those "Trucks use Low Gear" signs at hills? It's because the brakes can't hold the truck from overspeeding on a grade. You know how I know this? I drive commercially and have witnessed people dying because they were in the wrong gear on a grade and couldn't stop the truck. Usually they just kill themselves but there are other times where innocent people die because idiots like you don't know wtf they are doing or talking about. Next time stfu and think before you speak.
Very impressed with these guys ability to take what would be absolute junk, and not a second thought to repair in the states. And these guys repair it to the point of putting it back into service.
