Exo313 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Pictures to come after I'm home from visiting family for Christmas... I'm looking at a significant refacing job. Probably 40-50% of the face of this little 90lb MH anvil is gone, with more on its way out by the sound of it, based on tapping a hammer around the edges near the removed section. Planning on taking it in to work, they have some Stoody impact resistant flux cored wire I'm thinking about using once I get the specs on it and come up with a weld procedure. (I imagine it'll be similar to the Gunther(sp?) method, just with a different method of deposition?) However: (this is where pics might be useful; see top of post) I'm debating whether to just remove the rest of the old steel face, since I have to grind to sound metal anyway, and just reface the entire thing. Avoid the issue of ruining the heat treat in the already potentially compromised old face. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If the old face is delaminating I would see if a chisel under it would peel it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
