Butt welded washer, why a gap is needed on a shaft weld


Recommended Posts

I have been asked on the Blacksmith diamond videos numerous times why the gap in the collar before being welded..

This video addresses it in a roundabout way, chuckle, chuckle..

It is forging a " Butt welded ring"..

My butt is really tired by the way.. :) chuckle, chuckle..

I don't recommend them for most things though they can be handy for spacers and such or for bolt and nail escutcheons.

It's not perfect but will get the idea across.

That's my automiton.  That blinking thing is the state of charge left.

 

That's actually the remote for the 4 cameras. 1 remote controls them all. Yeah!!!!!!!!

 

1forgeur thanks. It's alright.  I'm not sure what I was doing,  was made clear enough as to the reason a gap is needed on the collar to shaft/shank weld.

It seemed to have evolved strictly into a ring butt weld video.

 

I suppose if one person understands the info it severed it purpose..

Last few forging times,  I've been able to get 3 or 4 items done at 1 time so this is perfect for pumping out the videos. 

 

I've got 3 done and will be released I think weekly. 

 

CGL, right on. Thanks.
