    The day I dreaded has come. I have finished watching every video on your channel in the 2 months since I discovered it. No more 'new' videos to watch. Your videos are the highlight of my day in my depressing life. I guess I will have to start from the beginning again. I have learned a lot even though I do not work with metals or machines. Now I know what tools other youtubers are using just by looking at them. I can even predict what they will do next or what tool they will use. I can just see it coming. I now know WHY they do what they do. This was because of you. Thank you for making such amazing, educating and entertaining videos. Although I do not get all your jokes, the ones I get are just perfect. It is an amazing feeling when I 'get' what you don't even say. Your humour is the right mix of expectation subversion and expectation subversion-subversion. I came for machining, I stayed for the humour. P.S.: Your comment section is a pleasure to read too.

Or that's just the hallucinations from severe metal poisoning.... Either way, you would have known as soon as you stopped seizing.

    7075 is stronger in UTS terms than mild steels while still being way less dense, so it has its uses, just not as a weldable material. Unless many bike manufacturers lie about their materials (Which wouldn't surprise me at all to be honest, the industry seems to mostly be populated with designers and snake oil salesmen who think they're engineers) 7005 is weldable.

    I think the difference between this material and the motorbike footpeg is this is a non-weldable alloy, and the footpeg is a non-weldable grade. The difference being that the grade is in fact possible to weld, though you lose some of the desirable characteristics of the grade (toughness, strength) but a non-weldable alloy means the composition of the metal rejects the metal supplied by the aluminum welding rod.

    @@Ddabig40mac In the metallurgical world, 'grade' and 'alloy' are synonymous. What you describe is condition - hot-rolled, cold-worked, quenched and tempered, solution treated and aged, etc. Grade refers to an alloy specification, which usually includes a prescribed chemical composition. Welds are always susceptible to cracking due to a variety of factors like formation of brittle phases, grain boundary segregation, solidification shrinkage, and degradation of mechanical properties in the heat-affected zone. Certain grades of aluminium, including most 2000 and 7000 series alloys, are especially susceptible to liquation cracking as they exhibit a large solidification range (difference between liquidus and solidus temperatures) due to their chemical composition. This can be avoided to some extent by judicious choice of filler metal, but some alloys just cannot be fusion welded no matter what filler metal you use.

    Lol I had a feeling it was going end up being some 7000 series alloy. I think a lot of the 7000 series alloys are used in machining operations because they tend to have exceptionally high hardness, harder than mild steel a lot of times. Most of them aren’t weldable by any conventional fusion arc welding methods though. This is the first time I’ve seen someone actually attempt it though. That was a pretty catastrophic reaction to welding lmao!

I assume the weldbeat popped off that thing because of some ridiculous thermal expansion factor, so you might have the same issues as with welding. Then again, the issue might only be a matter of bonding and/or surface wetting. I am truely curious about the answer to that question.

The joint is actually stronger than something like 7075 can achieve by itself.

    Your comment about the mad scientist got me curious, so I did a little googling. Turns out, Prof. Xiaochun Li and his team at UCLA managed to develop what's basically a filler rod for 7075 that's infused with titanium carbide nanoparticles, which somehow fix the uneven flow issues of 7075. Tensile strength of the welds were up to 392 megapascals. Not exactly accessible for a home gamer, but apparently they're working with a bike manufacturer on implementing it into production. Sounds like one day, maybe in the not too distant future, we'll be able to weld 7075.

  • @evensgrey

    @evensgrey

    3 жыл бұрын

    Well, yes and no. There's two distinct problems with welding 7000-series. The first is that the chemistry of the material is such that conventional methods and materials don't actually weld it. That could be fixable by specific filler rods with specialist chemistry. The second is that this is ZINC alloyed aluminum we're talking about. Welding processes are generally hot enough to boil zinc off/out of the material being welded, creating an extremely dangerous fume. That's where that white residue Tony found below the failed bead comes from. On a manufacturing line, you're probably using robotic welders, so you aren't worried about exposing workers to the zinc fumes. For the home welder...just don't. It's possible to protect yourself very effectively, but to do it really well you'd need to combine a welding mask and a respirator with the correct kind of filter for protecting against both fume and dust forms of zinc. You'd also have the possibility of fine zinc dust loose in the shop, which is not a happy thought.
