	MotorCycle accident aluminium welding repairs The aluminium engine casing on this motorcycle broke on impact in an accident. You can see the piece that broke out. I purposely did not aluminium weld the broken piece back in place, but instead built up the area with solid aluminum welding. Far stronger doing it this way.
	Welding aluminium is the most difficult of all welding methods but, it is my favorite. I then repaired/inserted a thread insert in the casing which turned out perfect. Once completing the TIG aluminium welding I ground it flat, plus I ran a metal file over the gasket surface to make sure everything was nice a true for the gasket to seal onto.
	The drilling was easy enough by using the old thread as a guide as to where to drill for the thread insert installation. The metal thread insert ends up far stronger than the original aluminium thread.

Motorcycle aluminum welding repairs

Broken motorcycle exhaust stud repair

1.

This is a Yamaha 1000.
Customer tried removing the old exhaust stud and snapped a piece off the aluminium on the head.
I had to carefully TIG aluminium weld around the threaded area, building it back up again to bring it back to the original shape.

2.

Aluminium welding is really tricky. Not to overdo the welding but necessary to get just the right temperature for maximum penetration and strength.
Aluminium TIG welding runs at 660°C.   

3.

Once I finished all the aluminium welding, I ground the edges smooth and faced off the surface where the thread insert was going to be installed. I still had a hole where the old thread was visible, so I used that as my guide to drill and install the thread insert. Turned out really well. Stronger than the original aluminium thread.
 

The cusomer searched for "Aluminium welders near me" to find me on a Google search.

I am always interested and ask my customers how they found me. Most searches used are "Aluminium welding near me" "Welder services near me" and "Welding service near me"
I create my own websites and apply all the SEO myself. Something I have learned over the years. I find it very mentally stimulating and interesting.

Suzuki Aluminium Engine Casing Welding Repair

It is really difficult and time consuming repairing/welding over an old welding repair, but obviously can be done.

A Suzuki motorcycle agent in Leitchworth asked me to take a look at doing an aluminium engine casing welding repair for them. The chain had come off and smashed the engine casing.
The casing had an aluminium welding attempt before by another aluminium welder.
Hence the brown epoxy shown in the picture attempting to trying and stop the oil leak by the previous owner.
I had to remove all traces of the epoxy before welding.

This shows my results welding aluminium over the old previous attempt from another aluminium welder. To get rid of all impurities and pitted cavities as-well-as working the oil out of the cavities too.

The weld here is not very neat because I had to repair over someone else's previous attempt and had to repair over the old contaminated welds.

Left, showing the TIG aluminium welding machine I use to do the aluminium welding repairs with.

This was one of the most difficult repairs welding aluminium I've done.

Repairing over the old aluminum welding meant a lot more welding had to be done, causing considerable heat input, which meant, the casing contracted slightly. Causing a bow/distortion on the sump gasket surface/casing. 
To fix that, I had to weld/build up, onto the gasket surface to build up the gap caused by the shrinkage/distortion from the heat of the welding.

Welding aluminium is one of the most difficult of all welding methods.
 

I then had to carefully file down the weld to get a perfectly flat and true surface for the sump gasket to seal onto.

The weld here is not very neat because I had to repair over someone else's previous attempt and had to repair over the old contaminated welding.

Fantastic phone call a week later

I was very please to get a phone call from this client, AM-Suzuki.co.uk agent in Letchworth, saying how happy they were after extensive testing running the engine on numerous runs to find no oil leaks.

I suggested they use 2 gaskets to seal the sump, but they only used one.

Very pleased with the results

Yamaha R1 Aluminium Engine Casing Welding Repair

Image to the left showing the damage to the aluminium engine casing.

Threads broken out and the aluminium casing was cracked too.

TIG aluminium welding used to repair this casing plus threads welded closed.

Casing filed down and holes drilled out in possition, ready for the new M6 thread inserts to be installed.

This is a close-up shot showing the M6 thread inserts installed.

Thread Insert/Repair

These thread repair inserts are amazing. The threads end up stronger than before after the repair.
They are super thin inserts, so you don't end up loosing strength after drilling out the casing before installation.
Another successful repair.
Welding aluminium

Another happy customer

This is a repair to a clutch bracket on a motor cycle.
I can't remeber the type of motorcycle. The bike was dropped and the replacement part was over £600. This repair came to £110 plus postage. (13/06/2010)

Successful repair, once again.

I find welding aluminium so satifying. My favourite out of all the welding methods.

Coming soon!

I have been teaching one-on-one welding courses since 2010 with an amazing 97% success rate.
But, now I'm in the process of creating video welder training courses. The video courses will be far more beneficial in comparison to the one-on-one training. 
I am reaching retirement and want to pass on all my accumulated knowledge to as many people as possible. It is a skill for life.
