NOTES

Note
Minimum preheat and interpass temperatures of 315°C (600°F) are essential for crack-free welding on mild steel or low alloy steel. For crack-free welding on tool steel parts, preheat of 538°C (1000°F) or higher may be necessary.
After welding, very slow cooling to 121°C (250°F) is usually required. This can be followed by post-weld heat treating at 538° - 593°C (1000° - 1100°F) to develop maximum hardness
