Up Topic Welding Industry / Technical Discussions / Butt welding of hot rolled Cr-Si (SAE 9254) wire rod.

Hi.I need a clarification regarding the Butt welding of hot rolled wires of material grade SAE 9254 (Cr-Si).Presently when do the butt welding of both the wire ends before it goes next process of wire drawing. But during the wire drawing it breaks either at welding zone or nearby heat affected zone.
The fracture zone looks very brittle and load bearing capacity is very poor.

Kindly confirm what should be the welding /post welding annealing cycle / method to avoid breakage by better welding method.

with Regards,
Shivarama.K
