You need to heat up AR500 before you can weld it, not with a torch, but controlled in an oven. It needs to be heated to a specific temp for a specific time. Also, I think there is a special type of rod or wire they use to form the weld. I would check with someone who welds up buckets / blades used on loaders / dozers. Those welders have experience working with abrasion resistant steel, and know what works and what doesn't.
