I've only done silicon bronze with TIG. I knew there was a MIG version, but nice to see it being done on cast iron. Thanks for showing that. I'll have to try it next time I get a job like that. I know it is also speced for repair of high strength car bodies as it doesn't compromise the heat treating. I think it was Jaguar that was one manufacturer.
No need for a mill as long as you have a fresh cubitron, wow, came out great! That silicon bronze is an ideal choice due to its thermal properties and minimal contraction. I've had mixed results with high nickel rod in the past but will remember this technique for the future. Thanks for the effort and superior content as always.
Greg, I have never tried silicon bronze wire. I have always used nickel rod with mixed results, mostly successful. Is the silicon bronze wire as easy as you made look? How does silicon bronze wire work when welding mild steel to cast iron, say welding axle housing to a axle housing truss?
Sure does. SilBr and AlBr (aluminum bronze) are some of the most underrated filler materials for doing repair work. They both can do damn near anything and they are tough as nails. I keep a tube of both tig rods in stock for those special repairs on complex materials or when warpage can occur.....you can run both materials a lot cooler since you aren't melting the base metal. You are simply brazing with an arc and shielding gas. Both lay down really nicely using MIG process, as long as your machine likes them. My old Miller doesn't like AlBr at all.
Great fix, Greg! Love tig brazing with SilBr and AlBr. If you have some AlBr wire, can you maybe do a little test run with the Yeswelder to see how it handles it?? My Miller sucks with SilBr and AlBr and would like something that can run them both for doing repair work. Thanks buddy!
You don't need a gazillion dollar fixture table, just make a normal work table frame, then instead of putting plate steel on top of it, just weld C section beams, flat side up on top. Leave a 30mm gap between the beams. You can then use G and F clamps to hold anything down at any point on the table very easily. Been using one for 10 years.
Nice repair, without the correct set-up and process cast iron repairs can often be really problematic. One of those work tables would look awesome in your shop, maybe if a few more folk who watch your content would subscribe to your channel, then one of the manufacturers might send you a table :)
Nicely done, not everyone wants to tackle this work.
Boy that's the truth! cast is tough to repair.
Excellent job! I love doing stuff like this. A little paint and you’d never know it was ever broke.
Glad you're back making regular videos. ✌️

1:40 he says 100% argon
@@gerardjohnson2106I didn't see him asking about the shield gas.
Nice repair - not many SiBr repairs on YT; showing how it's done!
Glad to see some green representation but that is the outer half of a final drive housing on a combine. Most likely an S series combine.
That was awesome, very nice procedure . Thanks for sharing

Awesome repair there.
That came out way better than I thought!
This is the kind of stuff I love to see pros tackle to know how to deal with it...
Brilliant as always 👍🏻🇬🇧
What composition was the welding wire that had a yellow welding color?

Liked the long burr, does it allow you more/better cotrol? Why did you choose not to use anti-splatter spray. Thanks for the lesson.
"You cant weld on cast iron."
Greg: welding
Greg: MIG brazing.
@@darenscott1718This is actually the first time I have seen MIG brazing with 100% Argon. Interesting to see it done.
Since it's only compression stressed, should be just fine.

Thank you
Good stuff, very neat.
is this cusi3 soldering/welding
great job
Aie ! Aie ! It's hurting like at the dentist !!
hit that with a needle scaler for some texture and some green paint and nobody would ever know.
Oh Yeah!!
Silicon bronze in the mig makes it look so easy. Bet it isn't!
Good thing about watching you weld is I don't get flash burn ❤️🔥
Bon Boulo 😅😅👍👍
I saw all those boogers and was like damn, but it turned out really nice, great job as always
nickel based wire?
Silicon bronze with 100% argon.
A squirt from an anti-splatter can beforehand would have saved half an hour's work.
Good build up job. Cast iron can be a bitch to machine if you use stick electrodes .
U just saved a customer a few 1000 and made some black art money...Great Vid 👍👍👍👍
A rat tail could knock the dingles thru? Not much penetration or grab
