Hi all,

I’m working on a project which uses a 4000mm, 5mm wall thickness, steel shaft to transmit rotation to a barrel-like structure (weight circa 300kg) at the centre of the shaft. To mount the shaft within chucks, there are going to be some solid triangle shaped end pieces which I had planned to have welded (see image). Not got much experience with welding. How can I validate whether this joint will hold up as it transmits rotation to a heavy structure? How would I call out the drawing? Are there any better alternatives?
