Welding spring steel
Hi Paul, caution should be exercised when welding high carbon/spring steel, as it does not weld easily. I made a rudder fitting out of a shapely spring once. Arc welded with big rods, lots of amps (like 140) and good prep. When finished it just fell apart when I dropped it.
You might want to google ' welding spring steel', as they are seatbelt mounts :-(.
Nick.
