@@mikeznel6048 I agree older stuff is better, that's why I spent all the money to buy English-made Record Vises. but when it won't hold and starts tearing threads out of the base she's time for an over haul
I saw something in a hardware store recently that might work real good for attaching dissimilar metals together. I think it was called a Bolt. ;) Could you make a 6 x 6 inch block one inch thick out of aluminum welding rod next? :)
Definitely enjoyed the longer video! This is just awesome what you’re doing haven’t seen anything like it! Helps me think about multiple ways to do a job. Keep it up 👍🏻 thanks for the entertainment and wisdom.
I think this is what This Old Tony meant by doing genetic experiments with metals. I'd be interested if a copper aluminium alloy if coaxed enough with various different metals (like starting with aluninium filler and slowly adding more copper to stop it being brittle until it's mostly copper thusly able to somewhat bond to steel) and experimenting could generate something like a weld between aluminium and steel, but that would be just a mess and likely not work

Thanks for putting up with all negativity from all the keyboard commandos. Your videos are always worth a watch. I learn something every time. Total noob question. Is it possible to weld stainless to regular steel? I have to attach stainless weather strip retainers to a regular steel header panel on a t top monte carlo.
Cool to see things done by those who DO THEM than to sit around and bump gums about what "cannot" be done. Gettin' a little Project Farm thing going on with the test gear and destructive testing. He even tested "entry level" welders recently (but had a welder help him, as he should). Love it. I especially liked the head of bolt capture in the other video. I promise to use these tricks only in non-safety issue applications, if ever.
How-to request: Welding between round tube runners on a manifold, less than an inch apart. Tried bending the tungsten like you showed in another video but I keep making a damn mess out of it.
Cast iron to steel takes some doing, but is very doable. Preheat is helpful, but post heat is key. Let the joint cool nice and slow. Peening during cooling helps a lot too. The biggest part is choice of filler. Nickel rod is ideal, but in a pinch, 316 stainless rod can be used as it has a high nickel content.
They should both be sized so that they have equal strength. Steel has a yield strength about 5x higher than aluminum so make the aluminum 5 times thicker. Remember, it’s just a rule of thumb. The actual strength changes a lot with the geometry so test test test. www.google.com/amp/s/www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/young-modulus-d_417.html
As long as your brazing rod has a lower melting point than aluminum it is possible. Not sure why you would want to braze aluminum if you have a tig welder.
(before I see anything) ... You asked what do I think will fail ... The vise? :o) Dude ... You don't have to tell me to "hang in there" ... I've been glued to your channel since you welded the bike frame to the pole in downtown SLC. Too funny ... too entertaining ... too good to miss the next episode. Keep 'em coming!
I picked up an old Ford Cortina years ago, the wheels on it were made like this. Cast aluminium alloy hubs and spokes "welded" to steel rims through a series of holes. I was never brave enough to use them!
This is knowledge!! When I saw this testing again....all that I could think: "That poor vice." 😂 Excellent info/video! If you could dig those contraptions out of the trash; using a setup with less give/flex (ie, no vice)...it would be interesting to see what point actually fails first, & at what level of pressure (it would actually be safer, too 😉). Loving these "outside the box" vids; thanks!
Hahahaha "Come along is craping out again" bro you would be crapping out too if someone made you pull a ton over and over 🤣😆. That vice is going to fly across the room one of these days lol.
hahahah this is amazing xD but in same time lets take a moment and think about how weld control would go with X-ray over this and tell it is no good to hold even a picture on the wall :D
That was my guess on what would fail I guessed fence stretcher it lasted longer than I thought it would and I've learned my sense of humor is well developed thanks
Galvanic corrosion indeed. I would like to see the stainless/6061/Filler rod combo repeatedly dunked in seawater for a few weeks and then stress tested.
Did a fella miss the rig tour? Seems like a great alternative to the ol' shop. Some of the best content on YT comes from the smallest shops, I'm thinking of clickspring as another example.
When are you finally going to show how to weld an oak board to a ceramic tile?
JB Weld baby, JB
Watch 'Bad Obsession' they can weld ceramic mug
Need woodcraft rods.
Wait till this guy hears about nuts and bolts. He will be unstoppable.
ooh goodie, gonna enjoy this comment section

Just like some guy on UA-cam called Ron Covell. You should check out his channel. Amazing work!
@@papaspeleo when I saw Ron's comment I thought you are also a master at your craft.
Ron you are a master and a pleasure to watch also and I have shared your channel also
Nha. Just the usual random things you run into building and making stuff.
We need to start a Go-Fund-Me to get him a new vise.
Nha. That vice is perfect. New ones are junk. Just fix the old one better than new.

Come on man ! Ya got a trick for all kinds of crud an you cant fix your vise.. just flippin c r a p bro ! Lol

Looks like we have a heretic in the comments boys!!!
“What do you think will fail?”
Me- “the vice”
6061: what do you think will break?
Me: That vise...
Vise: *breaks*
Me: *leo dicaprio pointing at the tv*

When crane scale shows 60 then 61 👌😎
In short with a welding machine one can do some really sketchey stuff.....
Take the scales away from him!
What do you think will fail?
The vice 🤣
Maybe you should just weld the vice to the table?
I know we just witnesses welding Dissimilar metals, but the video is cast iron. Not saying impossible, but I don't think even he would try that...
If there's one man that can...
Although I'd probably just get rid of the swivel base and bolt direct to the table.
I saw what you did with the scale reading 60, 61. Thoughtful.
The pat on the back was my catalyst for liking the video lol
Seeing you use the 7018, feels unnatural 🤣😂
Teach us to braise please.
But we want to know your thoughts on stainless to aluminum galvanic corrosion.
It happens. Just like the threads in the vise corroded. Nothing lasts forever, especially in high humidity and weather.
why you don't use your car for the stress tests .. that would be easier and much more interesting
but you can do this : ua-cam.com/video/CgZTVkjQwto/v-deo.html
he drives a Kenworth and a dirt bike. what car?

look up explosive welding......they do amazing things with explosives
@@ypaulbrown I am aware of explosion welding but this is about fusion welding
Have you ever shown your equipment around your shop? I would like to see what welding equipment you use.

Totally possible. Use stainless 309 filler rod.
Lmao, I was gonna say the vise when you first asked. Good stuff!!!

NOTE the grade 8 bolt in the vice.
Can someone explain why you can't weld dissimilar metals? Once they're both heated to a liquid state how come they don't mix to form an alloy?
LETS CALL THAT a WAGON WHEEL WASHER......
That poor bloody vice! I wonder how many people come here to the torture tests on the vice rather than smarter ways to join metals?
You should hook the test piece to your truck and a tree or something like that so you dont bend your welding table or break the vise
I was waiting for the Vice to fly across the room faster than Thor's Hammer!!!
Why do you pull the vise in two directions? Swing it so there is no way for it to trun like that.
Skip the vise. Just bolt it to the table. Super fun!

Very funny yet not at all practical. Love the troll factor
Fix that vise with aluminum rod welding
Get on Pateron and fund 6061 a new Wilton vise.
The Flex Seal guy has nothing on this dude!
What do I think will fail…? The vise.
What is stronger, aluminium trapping stainless or stainless trapping aluminium?
They should both be sized so that they have equal strength. Steel has a yield strength about 5x higher than aluminum so make the aluminum 5 times thicker. Remember, it’s just a rule of thumb. The actual strength changes a lot with the geometry so test test test. www.google.com/amp/s/www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/young-modulus-d_417.html
good god this feels dirtier than pornhub
Haha the worst pull Test I have seen xD
You are going to snap that vise one day
The weakest link is that vice. LOL
Aluminium would melt to soon to be TIG brazed, right?
As long as your brazing rod has a lower melting point than aluminum it is possible. Not sure why you would want to braze aluminum if you have a tig welder.
I hope you know a good dentist.
Help stop bench vise abuse.
The vice is like aaaaaahh fuck off
Reported for vise abuse
Now try aluminum and titanium

Now weld a hot dog 🌭 to a hamburger🍔
I did that and it just came out a brown smelly log type thing. I'll send you one to try if you want?

One beers worth of entertainment, down the hatch!Makes you think of all the applications I know my mind is in a tail spin for sure🤗😎🤗😎
You should invest in a new tensile strength testing set up so we can really see these joints fail, that would be so much cooler
Hahahaha "Come along is craping out again" bro you would be crapping out too if someone made you pull a ton over and over 🤣😆. That vice is going to fly across the room one of these days lol.
hahahah this is amazing xD but in same time lets take a moment and think about how weld control would go with X-ray over this and tell it is no good to hold even a picture on the wall :D
You seem to be of the experimentive type, can you experiment with welding over rusty steel using AC with deferent cleaning %
MY EYES!
please weld wood to stone.. .next
That was my guess on what would fail I guessed fence stretcher it lasted longer than I thought it would and I've learned my sense of humor is well developed thanks
It's midnight and I should be going to bed.
Perfect.
Now i'm curious about the twisted tig wires trash idea to see what a bubbly mess comes out.
For the next video weld up a vise and a pull testing bench ?
I thought that vice was going it go first. Thought it might rip out of the bench.
What are you thinking about smooth welding of aluminum
Vice got some affectionate petting from its master. Very well deserved.
A good SHOEI requested buddy..😅😂👍👍🔝
Great video high value, thank you for your efforts
Galvanic corrosion indeed. I would like to see the stainless/6061/Filler rod combo repeatedly dunked in seawater for a few weeks and then stress tested.
Seawater is not common in the desert.
not for offshore/nearshore applications.
Wish I was there! I keep practicing, I love it
Dude that's crazy yet cool 😎 great video
You going to have to step it up with a bigger vice
He just showed us why it’s so strong
The jet chain come along is 👌🏻
Interesting results.
this is an education beyond welding school💪
