I am making a trench axe and am trying to forge weld the handle to the head, but am having no luck. I am using a car leaf spring. I run my propane forge up to 2200 degrees, and heat the metal to a yellow color, but I can't get the pieces to forge together. I am using a 99 percent Borax powder as the flux. I tacked the two pieces with my wire welder to hold until I can get it to forge weld, but the wire just melted. Any suggestions?
