Hard edge or tack? I know you have the welding equipment.
It's called hard facing and there's 2 types. Homogeneous and non-homogeneous.
Homogeneous uses high alloy with chromium, tungsten and manganese makes an incredibly hard weld for impact applications.
Non-homogeneous uses chonky chromium carbide crystals for maximum abrasion resistance but has terrible impact resistance.
I already tried that. It works superbly on brush shredder blades since they are like 5/8 of an inch thick and don't flex. And not so well on lawn mower blades. The homogeneous weld cracks under normal use on mower blades, the Crack propagates and breaks the blade.
But I have used laser-edge blades where the blades use chromium carbide brazed on the the blade before the blade is heat treated, those are awesome, but not available for my 48 inch mower.

I may try to recreate my own laser-edge blades.
