Making NEW Pins for Earthmoving Machinery | Machining & Welding

  • These pins are worn out so we are making new replacement pins! We’ve got 2 big bucket pins from a Hitachi ZX670 Excavator and 2 pins from the ripper bed frame off a D9T Bulldozer. We show the step by step process of making the new pins. We start with machining the plates off the old pins before machining up the new pins using induction hardened chrome rod. The D9 dozer pins also need deep hold drilling and tapping for the grease holes before using the milling machine to drill a through hole for the grease channel. We finish up the job by welding the plates onto the new pins.
    In this video we are using:
    Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
    Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
    WIA 500i Weldmatic welder

      It's always cool to see just how much difference there is between hardened chrome and the base metal. Even the ceramic inserts, as much as you baby them, have a difficult time cutting through that induction layer. That's probably my favorite part, but watching you cut through the old welds and recognizing when to stop is pretty satisfying , too.

    Best part of the editing is she knows when to speed up certain parts that are highly repetitious and we've already seen. When a new process comes up we haven't seen she slows it back to real time. That really helps it from becoming a 2 hour video without missing anything. That only comes from experience. And Curtis is his normal awesome self.

In addition to the HBO-show "The last Of Us", this is one of two entertainment-highlights in my week (I'm a retired structural engineer/architect, Norway).

    Kurtis, I’ve watched other machinist on different video channels mostly doing smaller jobs on smaller machines but I gotta say you’re by far the most professional and most thorough operator I’ve seen. 👍👍 Like I’ve said before, if I was in Australia and had industrial sized equipment you’d be my go-to guy for sure. I just wish you’d bring in a young, enthusiastic,knowledgeable, serious protege to be your understudy. Your skills, work ethic and knowledge need to be preserved. You’re not old. But you never know…….A youngster could never learn what knowledge you’ve accumulated from a book. Pass it on.

    What I find fascinating about the work you do is the crazy mix of "I'll do it by eyecrometer" and "Better measure with our most precise measurement instrument"-type work you do, and how your approaches differ there.
    It takes a skilled craftsman to do a job only as precise as necessary, and still within spec.
    And your wife is doing just as great of a job with the editing, she makes time just fly by! And I'll never get tired of saying it, not having mouse squeaks during timelapses is highly appreciated, and something that just elevates this to another level!

    This channel in my opinion goes against logic. It is a very successful channel based around a very specialised subject. How many people know much about this field of work. Yet week in week out thousands tune in to watch. And now know 100% more about the subject than they did before. Which is still not a lot. For me it has four components that keep me watching. Interesting work. Combined with the description of what it is for, and how it is used. Fascinating. The execution of the fabrication. General quality of the work. The camera work and editing. Has to be among the best of the TH-cam channels. And last but not least. Homeless the dog. Security and chief mail opener. It would seem to be a winning formula. I enjoy and appreciate all the effort put into these videos. And glad that so many others do too.

Never used wire feed the shop didn’t even own one. I only recall that we rented a few machines one time for a rush job replacing the deck in a big tank that had a ship waiting off shore waiting to unload. 6 or more guys welding around the clock in the tank. I got a bad flash burn from the reflection off the tank wall coming in my hood into my eyes off my own lens with so many guys welding. I didn’t even know how to set it up but it was fast and easy all flat welds. You are a remarkable welder I like to see you weld and would like to know how you decide heat and feed rate etc.

    Hey man I spent my 18th birthday drilling 7/16" (bananas) holes/water cooling passages in plastic injection molds with standard twist drills anywhere from a few inches or up to 24" deep (short of drilling into the cavity in the mold). It was CSM2 steel and would work harden in a heartbeat. Then it was hell to drill the hole further. With a little innovation the shop engineer converted a Lucas horizontal boring mill to a gun drill with a high speed spindle. With the twist drill it was a thousand trips into the hole and then drag it out to clear the chips. On really deep holes I silver-soldered standard 7/16" drill to drill rod and that was even more trips in and out of the hole. I had to learn the trade the hard way and that was the rude awakening in how to actually work for a living. You remind me of the old time machinist that taught me the trade and me as a 50 year younger man. I enjoy watching your videos and hope you will continued doing them for a long time to come. Thanks my Australian friend!

  • @sadlerbw9
    @sadlerbw9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That hard turning is crazy. You can see that it isn't so much cutting the metal as pushing on it so hard that it melts, and then scraping it off! It was also interesting how 'squeaky' the stainless was when being cut in one of the recent videos compared to these pins.

    • @TSorovanMHael
      @TSorovanMHael ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't get hot enough to melt. It merely gets up to about dull red heat. Sometimes if the chip is thin it's enough to cause it to catch fire like steel wool, and it starts glowing bright yellow as it burns. Heating at just below red heat causes a phase transformation in the material converting some of it into a different crystal structure which is much softer. In other words, it reverts or erases the induction hardening process. Typically after heat treating a high carbon steel, there's a "tempering" step at about 300-400°C for and hour. This softens the material a bit to avoid excessive brittleness, making it tougher. But if you go above 400 the tempering process starts progressing much more quickly and becomes more dramatic. Near red heat the tempering is almost instant, resulting in material with the same hardness as the relatively soft interior of the bar. Same thing happens with drill bits if you spin them too fast or don't use oil, they overheat then the tip rapidly softens. Then they stop cutting and resharpening is futile. You have to use a cutoff wheel and chop a chunk off the end, then totally regrind.

      Having a parts rotator definitely helps a lot. Also helps a lot when you use 10-15% CO2 instead of the generic 75Ar/25CO2. Welds tebd to be cleaner and less oxidized. He's running it in pretty solid "spray transfer" settings which explains the smooth finish and low spatter. The majority of welders out there don't know how to setup spray transfer.

    • @TSorovanMHael
      @TSorovanMHael ปีที่แล้ว

      The lack of preheat on stuff that big, on a material that's easily induction hardened is a bit concerning to me, but they may have edited the preheat step out. Typically you'd want to preheat to 270-300°C. This is because the heating and cooling cycle in welding is pretty similar to the induction hardening process. So you have a risk that the heat-affected zone next to the weld becomes extremely hard and brittle causing subsequent cracking . Preheating the material slows down the cooling rate making the HAZ softer and more ductile.

    I remember turning some 1" induction-hardened chrome bar as an apprentice. Carbide insert didn't work on the surface and a J -man said to use ceramic, then turned the rpm up past 1k. Red hot strands showered me and the next two machines. lol The wise-acre was teasing me. I switched back to ~600 rpm and could see by the finish when to switch back to carbide for the end ODs. 'Bondo' didn't mess with me much after that. btw, I make tractor pins from stress-proof lately. Doesn't weld(!) but turns nicely.

    Consider setting the rotation axis of the chuck manipulator to 45* and set the welding head vertically at the top then the weld will be in the downhand position.
    You could get higher deposit rates at higher current.
