  • Watch as we restore a pair of worn-out blade lift yokes from a massive Caterpillar D11 bulldozer. In this video, we'll guide you through the entire repair process, from the initial sandblasting to the final coat of paint!
    First, we'll remove the rust and old paint using our Rapidblast dustless blasting system. Then, to ensure the structural integrity of the yokes we'll conduct a crack test using our Magnaflux Y8 magnetic particle testing kit. To provide a clear visual demonstration, we'll also use this testing kit to identify cracks in a mining truck strut rod. Once we've confirmed the yokes' suitability for repair, we'll measure their bearing surfaces to assess the extent of wear. Then, we'll prep the first yoke by machining an undercut and rough threading it in our lathe. After that, we'll transfer the yoke to our Shenyang lathe for metal arc spraying using our Metallisation i450 machine. While the first yoke cools, we’ll repeat the process with the second. Finally, we’ll finish machining both of them to precise OEM tolerances before giving them a fresh coat of glossy black paint to restore their original appearance. The end result is a pair of yokes that look and perform like new. Join us as we showcase the skill, precision, and attention to detail that goes into restoring these vital components!
    In this video we are using:
    - RapidBlast SD140 system
    - Metallisation i450 arc spray machine
    - Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
    - Shenyang CW6280B Lathe

    Kurtis states that the magnaflux is a good way to detect cracks, and sprays the white primer. I immediately agree as I can see a large crack already. Looking carefully, I can see it is actually a Labrador hair stuck to the iPad screen. After cleaning the screen, and hearing Kurtis finally agree that there are no cracks in the work, I think that this is probably the first time that magnaflux has crack tested and cleared a piece of work and an iPad at the same time. Gotta love multi tasking

    @warrenmccann9156 10 дней назад +12

    So for those who are interested, a little more detail on how that crack detection system Curtis is using here actually works. The method he is using is called Magnetic Particle Inspection or MPI. It is a non destructive method using a hand held electromagnet called a yoke. The yoke is energized with electricity. This generates a magnetic field because wherever you have electricity you have a magnetic field and Visa versa . Can't have one without the other. The magnetism is imparted to the piece under inspection. All magnetic fields have what are called flux lines running from the north to south poles of the field. The ink Curtis sprayed on has very fine iron particles immersed in bay oil. The particles will line themselves up along the flux lines. If there is a crack in the material the flux lines will be disrupted by the crack. This will create another north and south pole around the crack which the iron particles will be attracted to allowing the crack to be seen. This method can detect very fine cracks in any material that will hold a magnetic charge and can also see sub surface cracks up to about 5 mm depth. It is used primarily to detect surface breaking cracks however. MPI is one of five non destructive methods commonly used in industry, automotive repair and aerospace to detect cracks. The others are
    Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI), which we have seen Curtis use.
    Radiographic Inspection (RT) Basically X-Ray for detecting internal cracks.
    Ultrasonic Inspection (UT) Using sound wave refraction to detect internal cracks. Can also be used to determine material thickness with a great degree of accuracy.
    Eddy Current Inspection. (ET) Used to locate internal cracking and is similar to MPI in that it measures impedance in electrical fields caused by cracks. Very common in the aerospace industry.

      Good & funny idea. Actually, that makes me wonder whether Homeless behaves like cats regarding the cardboard boxes and similar wrapping material, because cats tend to be more interested in the wrapping more than the actual gift content inside, from what I have seen in countless RUclips cat videos. 😄😆🐈😺 Come to think of it, there are quite a few CEE videos I have seen where Homie gets new toys in the mail from kind subscribers and other friendly viewers, but other than him being diligent and effective at destroying the wrapping before exposing the gift fully, it does not look like Homeless has got a preference for playing with cardboard wrappings, other than being allowed to destroy something at semi-regular intervals. 🐶🐕😄😂

Kurtis you make following you and the work you are doing so easy to even a person like myself that knows absolutely zero about machine work. Karen you make watching and following Kurtis so easy and enjoyable. Great work by both of you. Also I was amazed at that machine you were using to apply metal and ending up with such a level surface. Another fun video to watch.

Really nice to see you working on some D11 parts. You guys do such great work, on both sides of the camera. Thanks for all of it.

    Every time I watch these videos I keep reflecting on how Kurtis deals with OHS. The overhead crane is used in so many shots where a real machinist would just heave and lift, it's only 40kg or so. As someone who has eight screws and two plates in my left hand as a result of She,l be right mate I can definitely relate to that.
    Well done you for setting the example for those of us who fly solo in the machine shop.

    Oh,...and I enjoy the commentary Curtis provides, I know somewhere right near zero about machining stuff, so having the reason for the way things are done is enlightening.
    I also really appreciate the thoughtful production side of the capture and edit of these storeys. The last couple of generations of media consumers have seen so much stuff over the decades and most of us really have no idea how much time, effort and especially skill goes into a cohesive, enjoyable production.

    If you going to be doing more blast cleaning it might be worth having a blasting pit made to keep the mess under control? Shallow concrete or brick pit with heavy duty mesh top so that all the muck ends up in the pit, clear out when gets full. Saves all the grit and muck messing the place up. Even for pressure washing it’s so handy.
