- This is a discussion on when and how I anneal aluminum. This is the video I reference for further understanding of what happens internal to the material. • Heat Treatment of Alum...
Thx Bill
Excellent video. I don't know why RUclips gave me this video as a recommendation, but it was fascinating. I never knew that all types of aluminum weren't heat treated to harden them like steel is.
Never thought of using the ice-melter for annealing, great idea. We also melt our sidewalks up here in Canada.
Great video and info Bill, your ice Melter is also known as a weed burner, elsewhere.
Thanks for this. Can’t understand why more people are not watching very informative 👍
Good info on working aluminum away from a weld seam. I hadn't heard that mentioned anywhere before.
Can’t say enough positive things about your videos Bill! Watched your power hammer demo down at Dan’s this spring. How you explain these metalshaping topics is extremely logical and easy to follow making these videos all the more valuable to the community. Keep the content coming! One request for a future video - metalfinishing weld seams. There are other videos out there that cover the topic, but I’m confident your approach and communication style would be valuable to both the people just getting into metalshaping as well as those that have been doing it for years. Thanks again!
Thank you, I will do a video on weld seams in the future. Thank you for the idea.
Thank you for another great and informative video. Surprises to see video so soon after Oshkosh. I figured you would still be getting over the air show.. You are right about books being a great source of information. A few good books on the process that you are working on will save you a lot of grief.
Simply EXLENT !
Many thanks!
Awesome stuff!
I learned A TON as usual, thank-you. PLEASE give us a short vid on your heat treat oven and how that works. I've wondered for years! Also, you began to discuss Chinese imported aluminum, but didn't quite finish...is the stuff MORE than half hard, as is common with US 3003-H14? I know that Wray Schelin says that it is more difficult to work. Finally, could you discuss panel "grain structure". I've heard it said that "in the old days" aluminum sheet had a "grain", but today's product doesn't. Comment?
Hi Bill. I will get a few things together and answer your questions. Thank you for the note. B
Technically, for accuracy, the "sharpie" process is described as "relief from work hardening" Actual annealing requires tightly controlled temperature and time exposure.
Hi thanks for the great video. Just wondering if you had a panel with local annealing could you fix it by annealing the whole panel? I know you would anneal the same area as part of the process but would that matter?
Hi. You can fix it by annealing the whole panel, but then you would have to work harden the panel.
Have to admit that my heart skipped a beat when you taco’ed that Fairchild wheel cover… Anyway, we spent a lot of time in graduate level coursework assessing different analytical models intended to predict grain boundary energy values that would inform post-process heat treatment strategies. The math? Let’s just say it gets “involved”… Your discussion here is very to-the-point and accurate. Bonus points for noting MIL-STD and manufactures handbooks. Aluminum has been an engineering material for 150 years. Working it is not black-magic. It’s just that very few people do so by hand any longer. Please stick with your videos.
Thank you
