Does anyone know if it is possible to weld stainless steel to bronze?
Has anyone done it that can offer advice/hints/tips/tricks?
What's the best process?
Are there any hazards I need to be aware of?

Thanks,
Paul

Look up "brazing" or silver (hard) soldering. Also look at explosive welding.

What's *best* in your case would depend on exactly what you are trying to do; which you don't seem to have given the details on, hint hint.

Thanks Thomas,
When I asked what's the best process, I meant which welding process mig/tig/oxy would give the best/strongest result.

The reason I am enquiring is because of the tree project, we are considering having the trunk and some branches cast in bronze so we can include the names of those who perished in the fires in the tree itself.

Cheers,
Paul

Strongest would probably be explosive welding; but it would be a real pita to do it on a tree

I'd probaly silver braze it in that specific use.

(they do explosive welding all the time at EMRTC here; blast pads within shaking distance of where I work and live...)
