We have asked a few times about welding high carbon steels. Whilst the process is not as staightforward as welding mild steels (below 0.25% carbon), it is possible to weld with some preparation. Alternative methods should be considered, but if this is not possible, some guidance can be found below.
The main consideration is the preheating [...]

The main consideration is the preheating of the joint to avoid producing a brittle joint. The temperature required increases with the percentage of carbon present in the steel. Most steels used for the ... Read More
