Slits in the metal do not work and in fact may make it worse.
If the carbide is stronger it bends the steel into a banana. If the steel is stronger it cracks the carbide.
I think you will like trimetal. The copper in the middle stretches as needed. It has it's downsides.
I do not use it unless the joint over 1 inch long. Think what happens here in a 6 inch strip.
This sort of art work. Get the carbide up to 2400 and the steel to 800+. Color temp with torch or special induction coils.
I do not know the part, the carbide section, or the steel so I may be way off base and looney tunes.
Also unground carbide has a skin full of nasty stuff (one side will be worse than the other). Are you going to grind or at the least blast this surface?
I hope it goes easily.
