Daniel Sheets 15 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 It looks like the forge weld was successful aside from the edges. 1084 jacket with a 15n20 core. Can someone advise me about the edges? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 2,871 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Yep, looks like the middle is good, congrats! You have two options for the edges: Heat it back up, flux the heck out of it, and try to do another welding pass, or grind them down to clean steel. I'd try another pair of welding passes, one for each edge, working from the interior to the edge to blow out any oxides. Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Sheets 15 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 It's back in the forge now for more welding passes. Appreciate the reply Alan. Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Sheets 15 Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Well... It looks like the forge weld was good. This is after etching but not sanded above 80 grit. I couldn't wait any longer to try it. I also ground through the 15n20 core. This is just an experiment piece though so I call it a success. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Looking good, congrats time to turn it into a thing! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
