Can you share what chromoly you are using? If so can you explain the welding process. What filler rod? Any preheat or post weld heat treating?
thanks in advance,

Its standard issue 4130 plate work. The welding is a multi pass weave weld with an initial root pass then a second pass with rod. I don’t want to disclose the filler but I can tell you its NOT ER70s series rod. I do not preheat or post heat, it is not needed. In reality if you were to do anything more then what I did you will only be wasting time, these are well more than strong enough. Weight is the only concern I have but I would not feel comfortable with decreasing weight anymore because I think it could compromise the strength. I’m happy with the weight they are at now.
I can treat these, but then they will have to be post machined after the treating to ensure quality.
I can even make them from Titanium if someone is willing to fork out the funds for that, but I don’t see it happening often.
