I responded to your message but see the post is from yesterday. I want you to see my response:
When working at a canning company in the 70's I welded part of a truck spring to the bottom of a sweet corn pusher as a wear plate. I made some beautiful welds. I was pretty proud. The pusher pushed the sweet corn into the conveyer going into the factory.
I had also set up a Fox Chopper to take the husks, etc., leaving the factory and blow the chopped husks into a waiting farmers truck. It did not take long and I found my chunk of spring in the magnet of the in-chute going into the chopper.
The magnet save my job. I was ignorant about welding spring steel. Paul
