Ladies & Gents:
Please tell me if it will be easy to MIG weld medium carbon steel cylinder barrel 80. mm. I.D. to mild steel end caps and have safe working hydraulic cyclical load in weld area of shear and tensile of 10,000. psi. min ?
If weld ring area was, say, 84. I.D. to 94. O.D. that would be about 2.17 sq. in.
Cylinder barrel will have much less diametral stiffness than end caps so weld will be under both shear and tensile stress.
I want to be very conservative.
