Good video! Too many others with rambling chatter. Straight to the point and I appreciate that. Fixing up an old aluminum canoe so this video was helpful!
Beautiful job! Thank you posting this. I'm going to try making my own aluminum top and bottom frame for my 220 gallon fish tank and you just made it look so easy and with a beautiful result that I'm not fearful of trying it now!
Nice basic demo. Note, you can get eutectic and silver solder rods that are far stronger if you need them to be. Up to 75ksi. Just note, you want to degrease aluminum before welding, and use a stainless steel brush for cleaning, and don't use it for anything else. What was done here is fine for light duty brazing, however if you are looking for something that will be higher load bearing, or need a better 'weld', then you need to do a bit more prep work.
Boots do you think the rod he used would work on a vehicle AC high side line? Or do you recommend something better? I'm trying to fix a corrosion pin hole in a part that will cost $2400 In labor to replace.
@SVTFordxx it will work, especially if you prep well. If you think about the big picture of aluminum brazing, you want the surfaces to be as "clean" as possible to get the most adhesion. So if it were greasy, slightly painted, etc. you don't have the ideal surface. With a good prep the rods used in this video have a strength of 33,000 psi (ie. 33kpsi).
Its actually very simple but it does require some practice. What this video didn't show was me melting the aluminum the first try haha Timing is key because these rods melt between 720-750 degrees F and aluminum melts at 1,200 degrees. Just something to keep in mind. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Wow, so happy I saw this by chance! I need to weld some table legs that came off. I thought I needed to learn TIG or MIG but this is so easy. I read the comment about prep work and will do my homework first. But this is so thrilling that I can use my existing propane torch and fix so many things around the house! Yay!!!!!
Thank you Garret! Appreicate the feedback & support. You may know nothing now but you are learning! Keep those dreams alive & you will become a bicycle frame builder. Manifest it! These aluminum brazing rods are good for small projects rather than for a bicycle frame but it's great to know for small repairs. I'd def look into welding. There are many types. Have a great day & thanks for watching!
@B He can do costum-work-bikes, if he set's up his workshop in the right neighbourhood - and invests some time in good online appearance too. Not everyone want's a Chinese-robo-frame
Garret Gartner, have you taken any frame building courses, or welding/brazing? The material you choose to build with will decide how you join the tubes together. I have an aluminum trike that has its tubes glued into lugs. ALAN built bikes in the seventies using the same technique. Fillet-brazed light steel alloy 531 and 753 were all the rage before aluminum and unrecyleable CF. Good luck anyway.
Haha thank you! I hear you on that one. Been seeing aluminum coils in the newer units these days & was wondering how to fix a leak myself. These rods melt between 720 & 750 degrees & aluminum melts at 1,200 degrees so the amount of heat applied is critical because you WILL def burn right through that aluminum. The thickness of the aluminum will play a large role. Thanks again! This was fun to do & you can work on many interesting projects on the side with this. Enjoy your weekend
Thanks J-man - this looks like it will be perfect for repairing the bottom of an aluminium punt - this aluminium is very thin and extremely hard to World using MIG or TIG. Definitely looks like it's worth a try.
How strong are these structurally? I know it's made for repairing leaks in aluminum in HVAC equipment, but say I wanted to make a rising and lowering bed frame. Would these hold like a proper weld, or are they more fragile if I put a person's body weight on it?
Thanks. I'll try this technique to make a lip upon which to attach a bulb pinch weld gasket to make a waterproof door for my camping trailer hatches. Wish me luck!
Superb video. I want to build a recumbent bike frame out of aluminum square tubing. Can I use this technique instead of buying a mig welder and gas and such? Is there a better alternative to aluminum brazing for financially challenged?
Very nice job on that aluminum. I have an aluminum table project. The wind was powerful and pulled apart our aluminum patio table after it took our umbrella from the center. It seems to be a thicker aluminum and was wondering if the smaller Bernzomatic mapp and oxygen torch kit would be good for this or if it would be too much and too hot for this job or should I just use a mapp gas rose bud heating torch?? I have both torches to choose from. Thanks for your help and advice. My first time brazing. I usually weld everything but I'm not set up for aluminum with the mig so having to try my hand at brazing.
What I didn't see is the backside of your part. If this all loaded up on one side, then your part will snap at the "weld". How well did the brazing material make it through the joint? Thanks for the video
That was as easy as drawing a line with a marker down through there ! Now do you do both sides ? Or does it flow under and over to do the other side as well? Thanks for sharing! I hope I can do this I’m a welder but I couldn’t solder for any thing in this world I always have a 99 to 1% chance of getting any wires or chip board trasistors , diodes , capacitors, to ever get soildered . 1% I can get it to work . Maybe my luck with this will be different.
This process is amazing! I'd really like to brave a trailer! I honestly believe this would be cleaner and better than using a wire spool because thiers no welding splatter!
Question: could you use this same technique if welding crimping ferrules to aluminium tube for auto HVAC use? Im wondering how a join like that would work under something thats under pressure.
It looked so easy… I could never reach that point where the rod melts like butter.. May be I did not bring it to the right temp.. Back to practice!!! Thanks for the video, though..
If this works on the crack on the hull of my boat, won’t it just crack again where it is being fixed?? The flexing of the hull against waves is what I’m worried about. I’ve heard both sides of the story. I have nothing to lose bc marine epoxy won’t even work. Frustrated boater in Michigan 😢
I bought some aluminum brazing rods braze cracked cast aluminum that is 1/8” thick, and approximately 8” long. Unfortunately i ground a V- Grooves on both sides to prep it, but realized that when i go to braze the second side, the heat will loosen the first side. I’m thinking to grind the grooves thru just enough to put a damn on one side so the aluminum rod can then flow thru to the other side, then just finish filling the groove. Will this work? If not could you please let me know if you have a better idea?
Just heat up the aluminum enough that you can braze both sides of the joint at the same time before it cools. That way you do not need to worry about one side melting while trying to braze the other!
A beginner's question: I have an aluminum car rim with a small crack in it. (the crack is not in the face or bead of the rim but in the valley). I tried the same rods as in the video but was using propane with the standard torch size (.5 inch?) and was never able to get the rim to temperature. I assume a MAG torch, as you use in the video, would be better but do I need to use a larger torch size? What would you suggest to get the temp up on the RIM? Thanks.
For this video I used map gas. I would use either map gas or propane which you can pick up at your local home depot or lowes. Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
Very nice clean neat work. Great video. Is there any way to braze both sides of the joint and would that improve strength significantly? Would heating from the back side of the joint cause the solder to flow towards the heat? Also, did you use any flux?
Thank you very much John🙏 Appreciate the feedback. Brazing both sides would for sure improve the strength of the joint. Best bet would be to hit both the front and back at the same time after heating up the aluminum. I didnt use any flux. It sells as aluminum brazing and welding rods. Flux would help but it's not required as far as my knowledge and experiment
I'm an excellent steal welder, I have not welded aluminum yet and really want to try this! I am really good with science and can't see how Flux would be nessisary with how soft aluminum is because the bond would be made instantly unlike welding steal because the metal is so hard. I am really curious of the rigidty when melted together. I was told my affordable Canadian tire welder was a beginners welder! What a crock of shit that was, it did a 2000 wrangler body and cab frame rails with no problem minus the serperate body frame where I had to use arc because of the metal thickness! (Unrelated) Its the people welding that makes this all work and the honesty of the products! $225 welder with alot of time put on it and still working just fine. I also cool it though with a compresser on the noodles so the wire doesn't stick
What grade of aluminum ? How did you know the temperature because aluminumy melts 660 degrees Celsius ? Folks , welding isn't for beginners, its hard . Don't ask me how l know the material your welding should not melt before the filler rod. Not always if your lucky , a welder is not lucky . Good short video .
A commonly used cleaner is acetone or brake cleaner. Apply to paper towel, rub damp towel over surface, get a clean towel and repeat process until towel comes away clean.
BERNZOMATIC makes these rods and they are sold as "Aluminum Brazing & Welding Rods" The back of the packaging says AL-3 4043 Aluminum Soldering Rod & then further down it says that it contains Zinc, Aluminum & Copper
@@JumpermanTech that is good to know. Thanks! I will look for these at my local welding supplier. Good job on the vid and thanks for responding so fast. Cheers!
Thank you! These rods aren't strong. I was able to break apart the joint by hand. Brazing both sides ass strength but I'd recommend this for small projects👍 Thanks for watching!
@@JumpermanTech Good to know. Thanks for posting this. It is a really good option to have since it doesn't need all the TIG gear and gas tanks for smaller and more cosmetic joints. Do you know if it can be done with an HHO torch or will the aluminium oxidise too much?
@@superciliousdudeYou're very welcome but thank YOU for your feedback🙏 Its def a great option! Its fast,simple & easy. I'm really not sure about the HH0 torch but that would be good to experiment. Just need to be careful and not burn right through the aluminum. The rod melts between 720-750 degrees Farenheit but aluminum melts at 1,200 degrees Farenheit so the amount of heat applied is critical. Thickness of the aluminum plays a large role
This is just soldering, it isn't welding. Welding is taking two things and fusing them to one solid thing. Soldering/brazing is just gluing them together.
So many "tutorial" videos are terrible. This was short and sweet. Not a lot of time-wasting and fumbling. WELL DONE!

So does normal silver solder work for aluminium??

Update these rods will seal a hole in the high side of a Ford Explorer auxiliary unit, With vigorous cleaning and prep.

I started to learn in high school along time ago, but didn't get far so I'm having to learn all over again.
@@JumpermanTech So I guess there are less chances to melt the aluminum by going propane than MAP gaz?
@@JumpermanTechis there some sort of temperature probe available to see what temp a torch or aluminum is?

I don’t have a shop or welding equipment but this opens more doors in the meantime
good hand. around 300 degree . perfect start perfect to the end. nice

Seems like beginners guide to "Soldering Aluminum" definitely not Brazing, but good for kids and small hobbies.
"soldering aluminum" is called Brazing. Is it not? Lol
Thanks J-man - this looks like it will be perfect for repairing the bottom of an aluminium punt - this aluminium is very thin and extremely hard to World using MIG or TIG. Definitely looks like it's worth a try.

Good vid man, think I could use this technique on a custom roof rack I wanna build?
Yes but look up aluminium bicycle frame building, using lugs and brazing to join the pipes. Building a roof rack will follow a similar procedure.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback ✌️
Thanks for the video 😃👍
Cool video. If I wanted to do a large scale project with brazing aluminum to steel, where would I get this stuff the cheapest?
Can this be done multiple times to add more than 1 layer of the material?
Question: could you use this same technique if welding crimping ferrules to aluminium tube for auto HVAC use? Im wondering how a join like that would work under something thats under pressure.
Won't the heat still cause the alu to lose its temper, and therefore require heat treating to restore the temper/stiffness?
Can you use this to build an aluminum tool box
It looked so easy…
I could never reach that point where the rod melts like butter..
May be I did not bring it to the right temp..
Back to practice!!!
Thanks for the video, though..
If I have a piece I need to reattach strength not an issue but need to know if brazing will allow the two piece to electrically ground to each other
Is 6061 better to braze with?
Propane or Butane?
Is it hard to do multiple brazing joints on one piece?
Wow that wasn’t painful at all!
Looking to figure how much rod to buy for my project. Looks like you use about 1/3 rod length to weld length.
If this works on the crack on the hull of my boat, won’t it just crack again where it is being fixed?? The flexing of the hull against waves is what I’m worried about. I’ve heard both sides of the story. I have nothing to lose bc marine epoxy won’t even work. Frustrated boater in Michigan 😢

Hello can I use cooking gas for brazing ???
I bought some aluminum brazing rods braze cracked cast aluminum that is 1/8” thick, and approximately 8” long.
Unfortunately i ground a V- Grooves on both sides to prep it, but realized that when i go to braze the second side, the heat will loosen the first side.
I’m thinking to grind the grooves thru just enough to put a damn on one side so the aluminum rod can then flow thru to the other side, then just finish filling the groove.

If not could you please let me know if you have a better idea?
Just heat up the aluminum enough that you can braze both sides of the joint at the same time before it cools. That way you do not need to worry about one side melting while trying to braze the other!
How strong is the joint? I need to have joints that can hold 130 / 150KG 350Lbs

I assume a MAG torch, as you use in the video, would be better but do I need to use a larger torch size? What would you suggest to get the temp up on the RIM? Thanks.
Hopefully you never did this to a rim. This does not actually weld anything.

@@JumpermanTech Good to know. Thanks for posting this. It is a really good option to have since it doesn't need all the TIG gear and gas tanks for smaller and more cosmetic joints. Do you know if it can be done with an HHO torch or will the aluminium oxidise too much?
@@superciliousdudeYou're very welcome but thank YOU for your feedback🙏 Its def a great option! Its fast,simple & easy. I'm really not sure about the HH0 torch but that would be good to experiment.
