Don't know if this is the proper term for these things?

Anyway need to weld some on a 3500lbs drop axle for a trailer.
Any special considerations or prep I should do?
I am going to :
1. grind off paint from axle
2. Degrease seats and axle
3. Line up and clamp
4. Tack
5. Recheck
6. Then burn in with Lincoln SP170-T with .030 wire and CO2 (230V 3/8 capacity)
Material (seats 1/8) and axle same
7. Prime
8. Paint
9. Reassemble
Do you think I should chamfer the seat to get better penetration?
