Best Way, I have found is a low hydrogen electrode or wire, preheat to 3-400C make sure to bevel so weld only is attaching to one material per pass, small stringers, keep the heat as welding, post heat back to 3-400C, let cool by propane space heater. (Excavator buckets etc..? Yeah- we can do that at Rods M Shop.
I have experience when my team welded "JIG Ladle" A36 to AISI 4140, we used electrode E7018 with SMAW process. The important thing for this welding's prehating during welding min. 180 degree celcius and did peening the weld beads to minimize residual stresses. After welding covered by blanket for slow cooling. Regards, Asep S (asep93st@yahoo.com)
A tensile rod in a mechanism is made from AISI 4140 OQT 1300 steel. It has a rectangular cross section , 30mm*20mm & a length of 700mm.It is to be
Steel wire mesh is welded by spot welding which could be continuous or staggered, depending on the application and strength of joints required. Sometimes, they are fastened by screws to the frame which serves as retainer also.
I think you're looking at two separate terms. SAE 4140 steel is a Chromium-Molybdenum steel used extensively for axles, aerospace concerns, and firearm manufacture. Mild steel is a catch-all term for plain carbon steel of low carbon content (such as SAE 1018) which is generally cheap, not heat-treatable, and used for fairly low-strain applications. I hope that helps. Mike Source - Machinery's Handbook, 11th Edition, 1943
pls refer to carbon-phase diagram... mild steel will be liquid and welded with temp. of >1300degC
It's a misnomer. 4140 is a type of steel, which is NOT stainless.

Hot dipped galvanized steel can be welded and is available as HOT DIP GALVANIZED WELDED WIRE MESH. Galvanizing is a process where zinc is applied to steel to protect against corrosion. It is also used to give steel a bright finish.
On a steel press then spot welded together

steel
Prior to 1941 they were built from riveted steel. From 1941 thru 1945 they were cast steel and welded steel. From the Korean War thru Vietnam they were cast (with some welding) steel. With the one exception of the Vietnam era M551 Sheridan tank which was welded ALUMINUM (hull only). The Sheridan's turret was welded steel (and the gun was steel). Post Viet War US tanks are composite (classified) armor with steel exteriors (welded).
Yes, steel can be folded. This is a common practice in the production of "damascus" or pattern welded steel.
Preparation: Ensure the 4140 steel workpiece is clean and free of any contaminants, rust, or scale. Place the workpiece in a heat-resistant container or fixture that allows for uniform heating and cooling. Heating: Preheat the furnace or kiln to the annealing temperature, which is typically around 1600°F (871°C) for 4140 steel. Insert the workpiece into the preheated furnace. Make sure it is supported and positioned to ensure even heating. Allow the steel to soak at the annealing temperature for a sufficient amount of time to ensure uniform heating. The soak time may vary but can be in the range of 1 to 2 hours.
No as it is unable to be forge welded.
