- I have a motor, whose shaft is worn-out. Please comment on my repair method.
Hello everyone,
I have a fan's induction motor, whose shaft is worn-out. I would like to use Shielded Metal Arc Welding (a.k.a. Stick Welding) to fill some metal into the worn-out area. Then, I will do machining to cut the excessive metal out. However, somebody told me that if the temperature of the shaft is too hot, it will deform and not be able to fit in my fan. I then Google about the forging temperature of a Carbon steel - 0.50% carbon content. Wiki said it is 1230 celcius. I should not go over 70% of 1230 celcius, which is 861. So, I would like to use some substance as an indicator that smokes at 861 celcius. Could you please suggest the substance that is cheap, available on marketplace, and easy to use?
Thank You
