WELDING PRE-HEAT AND POST-HEAT
Welding Pre-Heat
It is critical that the parent material be pre-heated to 350º F (177º C) before welding the Jaw
Armor. For good results, it is essential for the heating to be uniform around the joint area. The pre-
heated area should extend a minimum of 6 inches in any direction away for the weld joint.
To ensure the proper temperature has been reached, using
Temperature Indicating Crayons or an Infrared Thermometer is
recommended.
Welding Post-Heat
Post-heating is critical to relieve internal stress. It is important to slow
the cooling process down as slowly as possible. A weld blanket works well. If not available, ber-
glass insulation wrapped generously around the weldment is a good substitute.
