Welding Spring Steel

Date 02-22-2007 21:01

Hello ADELUCA, I'm shooting from the cuff on this one. Unless you have the ability to anneal this material and then approach a welding solution and be able to do a final heat treat, you may be in for some trouble. There are a few places that you could look for some welding consumables that may work. Bohler, UTP, Eutectic and a few of the other specialty welding suppliers may have some electrodes that might work in your particular case. You should see about describing the situation a bit more specifically as others who would reply will want to know more information. Good luck and regards, aevald

I get worried when You mention "REPAIR". As Aevald mentioned You need to give a lot more information, like what the part is, what material it is made from and how hard it is supposed to be. The entire part would need to be re heat treated after welding, asuming that You could find an apropriate filler material [doubtfull]. Presumably You have a cracked or broken part that has been in use for a while and quite possibly has fatigue issues other than the crack or break. Broken springs are generally replaced for the above reasons.
