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.
The weight of 4140 steel varies depending on the form and dimensions of the material. On average, the density of 4140 steel is around 0.283 lb/in³. Therefore, to calculate the weight of a specific piece of 4140 steel, you would need to know its dimensions and then use the density to calculate the weight.
The cost of 4140 steel can vary depending on factors such as quantity, supplier, and market conditions. On average, the price for 4140 steel can range from $1.50 to $3 per pound. It's recommended to contact steel suppliers directly for the most up-to-date pricing information.

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.

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).
The numbers in 4140 typically refer to a type of alloy steel known as AISI 4140. This designation indicates that the steel contains approximately 0.40% carbon, along with chromium and molybdenum as alloying elements. AISI 4140 is known for its high strength, toughness, and wear resistance, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including machinery and automotive components. The numbers help categorize and specify the material's composition and properties.
Yes, steel can be folded. This is a common practice in the production of "damascus" or pattern welded steel.
