Welding High Alloy Steel With Other Steels
Welding High Alloy Steel With Other Steels
(OP)
Currently designing some components by purchasing an off shelf item made of high alloy steel and I would like to weld it to another steel part. Since I don’t know the exact composition of the purchased component, is it safer to weld it to another high alloy steel or any steel will do?
Any response will be greatly appreciated!

No. Neither approach is correct and is poor engineering practice.
Before you do anything you need to know what materials you are joining, period.

This material requires elevated preheat and post weld heat treatment along with low hydrogen consumables. I would not try to weld this to itself or even a lower grade carbon or alloy steel without a specific welding procedure along with preheat, interpass and PWHT requirements.
