Step-by-Step Guide to Welding Manganese Steel
Controlling preheat temperatures is crucial to avoid cracking. For manganese steel, keep both preheat and interpass temperatures below 400°F (204°C). For T-1 steel, maintain temperatures below 400°F (204°C) for highly restrained joints and below 200°F (93°C) for others. Make sure the edges of manganese steel components are rounded and smooth.
