I've found alll of the pinnacle alloy stuff has been kinda shat, got a bunch of stick electrodes from them... I should probably just throw it out, the flux covered bronze is from them too, and its been a struggle lol... but sadly I don't have any other choice around here, most weld shops here don't even know what brazing is, let alone silver soldering
I just looked & it might be the gray bolts that I have that are Cadmium, I know several years ago the boxes that stated cadmium were always on the yellow bolts. I am thinking now that they may have been miss labeled.
Gray cast iron. As this will work 100% as good as making a new one, it just depends on the customer. Some people are great & as long as it is a good functional part, they are happy. Those customers get the best pricing & quickest help in the future.
Unfortunately, your camera operator didn't understand that the key point of the video was observing the insert piece dropping and watching the braising material flowing in the joints. Instead, we were treated to the reddening of the outside of the block!
About 5/8th of the way through I was thinking "might have been a better job for induction, or a larger torch". Definitely induction, or our heat treat furnace, if I had several to do.
Great explanation of the process, just curious why not weld in the mistake? I know there is always more than one way to do a job not knocking your ways I'm just curious the advantage of one over the other since my inclination would be to weld it. But you probably have 20 years more experience than I so I'm sure there is a logical reason
Thank you for showing that whole process from start to finish, that was very informative and interesting to watch. 👍🏻👍🏻
For a second, I thought my phone was ringing and wondered why I didn't have anything on my screen 😂
thank you John........really appreciate all you do.....

Nicely done, interesting how the heat finally transferred across the
Very interesting. Thanks. Nice work sir
I like this kind of video, art and humanity mixed with mathematics and machining
I love the reflexive wiping the hands on the overalls....
Torches on both sides?
That can be done in a heat treat oven also. In some cases it can be faster but maybe not on others.
All that i can think of is induction heating
i think nowadays the yellow plating is not cadmium . i heard it could be zinc which also is not good to breathe the fumes. zinc chills are a thing
Zinc dichromate, I believe. Probably just as bad.

so is this ductile iron or white cast iron.? what stops it from cracking as it cools? why would the customer accept it with a piece brazed into it ?

Does it cost more than to cut a new part
This is a good savings over starting again. Probably $75-100 in supplies.
Ever hard Chrome a mistake? Then set up a turbine to grind a deep hole out?
What is it ?👍
I bearing housing for a 10 ton H.K. Porter Locomotive built in 1899.

your miller induction heat gear would have done this in a few minutes

Is it weird that I was shouting at it more than you?
What's strange is I might have heard You.

This is Cast Iron.
So much talking, hard to get to the point of all of it. It's not a political rally, it should be more substance for a given time.
The dudes trying to explain how to do a good job, maybe you could do a video on this too!
