Hi
Few months ago I found a good pry bar in the trash (a building site where I worked)
Someone trow it in the trash because is broken .
The missing part is the ciesel head ,than the foot is dull
So the foot I did weld with 7018 rebuilding the missing part ,I have to sharpen it but not need to be hardened because the center punch can't really damage it so I think is good enough for my needs .
I need to extend it and to have a round ciesel head to use it to align plates holes etc .
I was thinking to use a chiesel but I don't have really no idea of how to weld them together because is a chrome vanadium ciesel .
The pry bar may be also chrome vanadium but I don't really know
Sparks tell me that is high carbon hardened steel
the colour (sparks) is similar to stainless steel but with the forms of high carbon hardened steel so I wonder can be chrome vanadium also
Can I use 7018 ?
Other welds semes good
I will use to chamfer the pieces at about 30 degrees because is 25mm thick
After weld I will beat with the sledgehammer to reduce the stress built-in the weld
Down here a picture of the pry bar
I have not the ciesel yet because I would like to know if I can weld I or not
Now the pry bar is 1,10 meters long
The ciesel I would like to weld to is 35cm long so this thing will be 1,45 meter long
I would like to be able to grind and shoot a photo to the sparks as you can tell me what kind of material is but I really can't do that , it's to dangerous
Hope you guys can help me
Thank you
