Hello, I'm currently working on a new project that takes us a little out of our norm. We need to weld several pieces E52100 high carbon steel together, preferably using a tig welder (although we do have a mig and stick welder on site if necessary). I am aware that preheating to 350F will be required and possibly some post weld tempering of the assembly once complete but I am having difficulty trying to determine the appropriate filler rod that would be required. As a side note the assembly we are working on will have a dynamic load applied to it up to 12,000 lbs and will also be submerged in a molten bath of aluminum.
What would the appropriate filler rod be for tig welding E52100 high carbon steel?
