AR500 steel targets

(1/1)

Froogal:
Feel free to move this topic if I put it in the wrong place.

Basically, I have a few of those ready made steel targets that are made from that AR500 steel. They have holes for hanging, but I think they would be a bit more versatile if a bracket was to be welded on. That way I could simply hang them from just about anything. Are there any tricks for welding on those targets? Anything to be careful of?

Lincoln tombstone welder and 6011 rod. Would a different type of rod be more suitable?

Ranch 13:
 7018 using reverse dc polarity will be the best bet to get anything to really hold a weld.

Froogal:
I may have some 7018, but I'm pretty sure my welder is not capable of that reverse dc polarity.

Ranch 13:
It will work on straight ac but does much better in reverse dc
