[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 3657, member: 437"] [SIZE=2]I did a little research on the chrome bars availible here and found that they all are made from 1045-1050 grades of steel. I also read your old post about welding and quenching to keep the shaft cool. Quenching will hardened the welded area but hard is also means brittle. Here is what my steel suppliers book says about welding these grades of steel.[/SIZE] [COLOR=black][SIZE=2]WELDABILITY—Due to higher carbon content, this material is not readily welded. With thin sections and flexible design, gas or arc welding may be used without preheating, but in joints over 1/2" to 3/4" thick preheating is necessary. To develop equivalent strength in a weld, a low alloy filler is recommended. Stress relieving after welding is also recommended.
