RE: Welding Rebar
The summary of the thread as I remember was that the chemistry of the steel in rebar is not closed controlled, so welding can change the physical properties significantly, to the point of failure under load. Recommend tying the rebar as is customary. The discussion was split on cutting cold or with a torch, since the heat affected zones would only be at the very ends.

RE: Welding Rebar
Have you been answered already?
I have the same problem. One idea is to heat the bar just before welding and of course it has to be weldable i.e. low carbon rebar.
Know any more?
