Thanks for the video bro and to your friend too for taking the time out to share his craft... Really appreciate the attention paid to detail, in high strain repairs... I haven't done Alloy rims but I've repaired some high stress components... You have to go the full mile into ensuring that everything from clean up, to edge prep, execution and final clean up in some cases also stress relieving methods is done with due diligence with pride and excellence... I hear some people's concerns, but everything we do we put our name Stamp to. So we do it with excellence and care... If any doubt is there it can always be highlighted... Even great surgeons will tell you if the suspect any doubts... Great job 👍🏽
An absolutely fantastic video really enjoyed it and loved how you explained the hole process and showing it.And great your using your workshop can’t wait to see more from it. Big respect to you both👍👍👍
Great video, the joys of being a welder is theres a couple of things on there that I don't think are quite correct, but still a Great video. It's a great side hustle.
This is a decent repair and prepared nicely but as a rule I never repair wheels anymore, it's just too dodgy, if it's for track it's not so bad but for road use never. Once ally has cracked even if its prepared and welded to a top standard it will always be a weak point in the wheel and I couldn't have it on my conscience if someone's wheel cracked and failed while tonning it on the motorway, especially a crack as big as the one in the video, just buy a new wheel.
In this case the wheel is going in the scrap, but for many people buying a oem wheel is out the question and way too expensive, but i definitely know that would be a mot failure
I've repaired many rims, I usually charge $80, so it usually takes me 45 minutes. there's a point where you see a crack or even a repaired rim where it becomes unsafe even to be repaired, the way he cut all the way through the rim was ridiculous, of cause it was going to buckle, surprised it didn't grab the cutting disk, also drilling what looked to be a 8mm hole to stop the crack furthering was a bit overkill..
dont be a hater and share some useful info! if you're a master you should be making your own videos educating the world instead of belittling the world of knowledge, head over to my insta and you'll see this repair is nothing compared to what we do 👌👊
This is why the internet has made the evolution process quicker coz we got videos and pro tips to write how they would do it. The video was great and this reply was great also
10 points for trying and entertainment. Unfortunately that repair in my opinion is inadequate and the whole process is not profitable which makes it unsustainable as a business in the long run. Open root welding on aluminium require argon backing, without it you get contamination. The attempt to melt all "burn through " without a filler is a bad decision due to high thermal transfer capacity of aluminium. It would work better if you cleaned I'd with carbide burr before welding. Finally those wheels never crack in line, to be precise they usually have 3 cracks that spread out from the point where lip holding the tire converts into the body of the disk. By doing repair in the way you demonstrated, leaves 2 cracks untreated. By the way, drilling hole to stop the crack and re welding it after, is as functional as giving paracetamol to the corp. Please see that I do not make this comment to hate, it is probably my very first comment on the channel despite being subscriber for a long time. The reason for my comment is that in this video you give bad advice that I hope no one will follow. I personally use different method to repair alloy wheels which allows me to do one wheel with 2 cracks per hour. The video of whole process is on my channel but I will not post links on here as I consider this unethical. Thanks for the effort and all good advice you shared in your previous videos.
I have a ThermalArc 202 AC/DC welder too, and yeah they are very noisy. I don't do much Tig so still learning it. As for repairing wheels on a car, truck or van it would be a no chance. Except possibly on a wheelbarrow? 😂😂😂 Interesting to watch!
interesting video ,, but if you have to take the guards off the tool , your using the wrong tool ,, its that simple. and another left handed tig guy ,,, loads of you tube tig welders are lefties .
He's a very knowledgeable welder. Great work appreciate the content.
I love the sound of ac tig welding. Sounds wicked.

thankyou very much
Exelente maestro .
¿Disculpa que aporte utilizaste para soldar el rin 4043 o 5356?
Literally just cracked the shit outta my alloy rim about 30 minutes ago, this vid gives me hope it'll be fixed.
Its a pain when they crack! But there's hope 😅
Bless Extremely enjoyable & educational video. Keep ‘em coming. Thanks 😊
What voltage does your welding machine work with?
Single phase 230v
Single phase 230v
can you ask your 3m buddies if they are gonna make the g5 02 curved that can take air unit?
ive already asked, nothing new that i know of

thanks my dude
I've also got an E92 335i with 313Ms, and I just dropped off one front and one rear to get welded.
great work thanks for the DIY

@@ARCONEWELDING like I say mate I'm absolutely not knocking the work done here at all! But just my opinion from what I've seen in the past

@@JoshsHappiness not belittling the guy in any means, sharing some information learnt over years, and yes my comment is my opinion. Each to their own.

The purples are the lanthanated tho right?

The workmanship is substandard, rods being used are wrong, prep work is hopeless, and the actual welding itself is poor.
Get yourself some furick Jazzy 10 Lens diffusers. Brilliant!
12"00 min it's straight grinder....👍👍👍
Bought a prime weld ac/dc inverter on Amazon and for $800 it's really great
Hi I was watching the video to see how the weld was ground down to smooth 🤔

POLAK WIDZEM ! Lubię oglądać Twoje filmy :D
Başarılı 👏
👍👍👍
I hate 3m speed shields bulkiness and head gear. miller now have sheilds with clear grinding visors and are much lighter
That was great
25:30 too much Hz, arc is too narrow and to fast for cleaning-penetration. Better will be 80-ish Hz.
I always use thoriated I was just seeing the lanthenated, I thought shit have I lost my mind.
26:33 dissaster
interesting video ,, but if you have to take the guards off the tool , your using the wrong tool ,, its that simple.
and another left handed tig guy ,,, loads of you tube tig welders are lefties .
Oh god welding alloys for cars should be banned
To much work for 40quid your process is worth at least double that
