OK. Here's a question for you bright welder types..

I took a disc from a plow and welded some steel in the center to make it solid.

This thing is 1/4" thick. I'm guessing the disc is hardened/high alloy/fancy crap steel. The filler material I used in the center is just 1/4" mild steel..

The problem is when the welds cooled off, it cracked like hell.. Any suggestions how I might pull off a decent weld that won't crack?

 

[halifaxhops]

Heat it first.

 

[halifaxhops]

You making Frisbees also?

Not a big wing fan,(lot of work for the amount of meat) but man were they tasty!

When I do 'wings' at home, I cheat & use drumsticks.

Heat it first and as it cools you keep the heat to it and control the cool down. Plus I would use a harder rod. 7018? Or are you MIG welding I have been fighting my Mig welder for the last hour.

Heat it first.

Either that or not let it get so hot when welding. Just short spots and let it cool between. Just a guess, something to try

I get that a lot!!!

 

[dukeboy440]

wow.... get this, they're reporting that flight that killed that soccer team, the plane ran out of fuel. I guess the flight plan from the very beginning was actually longer than the maximum range on fuel that plane could carry and they didn't plan any refuel stops......
