Which tool steel is the best for welding?
(OP)
I am designing an assembly fixture that will require a welded tool steel sub assembly. What is the best tool steel for welding? Anything that is heat treatable to 60-65 RC will suffice for my application. Thanks.

And my own comments:1--are you sure you still want to do this? 2--Find a welder experienced in this kind of welding and one that has the proper facilities for pre heat and post heat.
