Steve Sells Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 highly toxic fluorine based substance, I will PM if you, I refuse to post public, as I explained in the kniife making classes, because too many are clueless and refuse to pay attention will kill themselves or others misusing it. So far it is clear they have not paid attention to the correct welding temps, many have never even looked at a spec sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SReynolds Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 When I heat spring steel to the point sparks are seen it welds fine to itself. But......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Ummmm as an armchair kinda guy What is the problem welding 5160? I mean if you have a clean weld surface and at the right temp you should get a decent weld. 90% of welding problems stem from a dirty surface or improper temps. I weld all sorts of weird stuff..some of them really high alloy and it takes a little tweaking but it can be done.
