Weld Repairs You Should Avoid

Finding out which weld repair jobs you should not have taken on is something you will just have to learn. Luckily, Justin has a great demonstration piece of a weld repair that will show you why you sometimes need to say no to a job and send it down the road.

We also attempted to contact the Weld Metals Online Summer of Welding Giveaway winner. Was it you?

Hey Justin,
I just want to say you don't really owe us followers for sticking around. The amount of knowledge you contribute in the public domain is worth it's weight in gold. Thanks for being so generous with your time. I wish you surpass your goals.

The pins and the flange are for cabin heat, there is a shroud that covers it and air is forced over the surface and pins as a heat exchanger.

Challenging jobs like this make us better welders. Even if there is a 100% chance of failure.
Even if you don’t get paid for this job, it’s still a great learning experience.
Remember, experience is priceless.

I used to subscribe to a LOT of welding and fabrication channels, now I follow maybe four or five and you are by far the best one. You have the natural ability to be able to make learning as interesting as it is educational. You're a great instructor / teacher, and a fantastic welder/fabricator. Thanks

This makes me feel a lot better about my welds! Im a machinist jit a welder but i do 90% of the TIG jobs at work(ive been TIG welding for years unprofessionally) but we usually get dirty, old, irreplacable parts for old equipment, and if YOU can't make every weld look like a banger, i feel good about my welds on similarly fugged parts not looking like IG welders lol. So far knock on wood nothing has come back.

Thanks for the content

Hi Justin， just wanna show my respect，you are a great person to show us free welding lessons. I really like your expertise and your spirit. I cant imagin how hard it is to work in such a hot place. Take care of your throat!🥤

35:00 I don’t know if many noticed this but the tungsten tip to work distance was incredible. The control he demonstrated after the arc did its wandering after startup was insane, unlike in a straight line keeping that tungsten soo close across the uneven radius corner takes incredible skill and concentration to not dip the tungsten. The fact that he did dip the tungsten before the shot goes to show just how difficult and uncooperative this piece was being. Porosity aside most people would struggle with the skill to even replicate the result so YES your intention to pick and choose your jobs, refuse the jobs that demonstrate potential issues got across … (at least it did for me).

Much love from So Cal, appreciate you for this walkthrough and countless others. I've been tuned in since your tube bending series and can't tell you how much i've learned from your channel alone. As for this video, thank you for sticking through the +100 degree weather, getting the raspy voice, and still being a good sport about it. Take care!

It is also possible the part is inconel as it’s a commonly used alloy for aircraft exhaust

[AkPacerPilot]

That ring around the aircraft exhaust is for the cabin heater and the carb heater. It’s a shroud that goes around it, the nubs are to help transfer the heat to air, airflow comes from the prop airflow / movement thru the air.

[brolls]

Most the moisture your seeing during pre heat on the metal is a biproduct of the torch combustion. Its condensing on the cool metal stops once it heats up.

[michaelkulaga]

The stud setup is for the cabin heating, on a lot/most small airplanes they heat the cabin using exhaust heat, pulling air through a shroud around the manifold, the studs help with heat transfer.

Glad to see the double OG is still posting.

[gettosurfer]

I wonder if the lead in the leaded gasoline used in old aviation fuel had deposited on the piece. Could contribute to your sore throat.

[ridinrocks]

I think we all can tell your a bit overwhelmed with all of it just keep it going happy too see your making it all happen congratulations

[genedavis]

Thank you for letting me watch you weld. Your talking as you weld helps a lot. If my view through my helmet was as good as your video I could be a better welder. Keep up the good work.

We get all our plane exhaust parts fabricated from new metal. Two companies Plane Exhaust & AWI fabricate those old plane exhaust pipes and mufflers from scratch.

A great way to get a cheap Forced air hood is to get a mattress inflator that’s battery powered and then you put lithium batteries in it or regular old batteries doesn’t matter .A flex hose, add a filter and a nice piece of very flexible inch diameter hose to go into your helmet and you’ve got it without spending 1500 or two grand . You might need to slow air air down with a Rio stat or lower voltage . They blow very large CFM in stock form.
