Not welding it at all.

If you need an angled shape, bend it with a d10 radius at minimum. Still need a serious press.

Or if welded, keep the heat at a minimum, cool everything down with heatsinks and wet rags.



In my case, I do weld hardox. But only with TIG, highest amp setting and highest speed as possible, with 1.4571 welding wire, adding serious supports and clamps to retain the shape, and getting rid of the heat as fast as I can. Excess Argon, backing gas, and so on.
