More of a case of using the wrong steel. Most likely En8 was used as when hardened due to the carbon content hardens through and makes it very brittle. Welding it has similar results the heat draws the carbon to the joint and produces a week weld.
Normally En32 or En 36 would be used, both case hardening steels.
