I'm just not good with accepting blanket statements. The devil is in the details!
Sand on high alloy steel welds with lots of Cr, Ni and 1.5%C? I'm very impressed!
Was this billet welding or just joining two parts?
Though I do freely admit that forge welds of almost anything can be done fluxless under the right conditions...shoot they do them at ambient temperature about a mile over from my office. (Explosive welding facility and yes an explosive weld is more than a mechanical weld it really is solid phase welding.)
No need to ask permission; jump right in if you have new data; please post as many of the details as you can. I'd like to replicate welding stainless steel using only sand!
