Per the request of a few of you, here's the weld repair procedure I used
for repairing my idler shaft, which was pitted and undersized. It has
worked for me for 10+ years of stressful autocrossing with no problems.
1. Preheat to 200 degrees F.
2. GTA weld using B2 filler wire.
3. Heat to 800 degrees for 1 hour after welding.
4. Machine as required.
If anyone wants to challenge this, you can take it up with a retired
chairman of NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers). He's
the one who gave it to me directly.
