see my post ,
i was comparing to 6013 .
im sure the repair he has done will be fine, he looks a very good welder.
Me personally, I wouldnt have considered using dissimilar for welding the linkarm, as its no special steel(s) infact they will bend if you catch them hard enough (sideways, /a hard bang to the to the side ) ive done it before, they can be pressed out again, maybe not quite as good as new but....
it wont be made of high carbon steel ,
I wouldve used 7018, ( i like oerlikon supercitos spelling?) on my AC welder whatever ammps and set on 75 ocv.
i was replying to different posts.6881 has a much higher tensile strenth than 7018 or 6010. i would have gone 7018 personally as 6881 rods are ridiculous money, but 6881 will be more than adequate for this imo.
