I'm building a buggy and want to put the brake disks on the trany output CV joint similar to a garden tractor. I machined the CV bell and made a 1/4" disk. I can get it very concentric but am now having trouble with the tacks cracking.
I'm wondering and planning to try heating the entire assembly before the final weld.
Will this help I stop the cracking? I'm not sure ( better said surely don't) I understand the expansion and contraction forces and what causes the cracking. It usually cracks a few minutes after the weld is done.
I'm using TIG w/ ER70-s2
Might I be better off using silicon bronze?
This will be low a speed (<20 MPH) vehical
