Know a little bit about welding. Have seen manufacturer of welding equipment claiming adding some welding on new parts used for digging might be good since weld is harder and wear slower.
I am however certain welding is a lot more expensive material than buying a solid block and are in doubt about strength. Adding a little bit on top for example then part wear I think however might be a very good idea. Tried it myself manually, some grinding where need but it worked. It might be MIG welding is best for thin material but are very uncertain. MMA i used and it work on thick material though TIG might be better since it is possible to indenpendently control speed of material added and power for heating if I got everything correct.
