Ok coming back to this... considering I don't know what grade of steel the original forged arm is, I can only err on the side of caution and try to make it as strong as possible.
I've been looking into welding titanium and various steels. Apparently this Grade 23 Ti I picked up will be difficult to weld. Not sure how true that is. Grades of steel such as EN19T adn EN24T are also difficult and require heat treatment. A domestic oven is the best I can do lol.
So where do I go from here? Choose something lower grade such as EN8? Or perhaps have it professionally welded and heat treated at the cost of squillions?
