Hillbillysmith Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Anyone weld SS regularly? Ever weld SS to plain carbon/tool steel? If so, did you use 309? If not, did you get cracks? Did you preheat the materials first? Ever make a mild steel blade and them put a several bead pass on the edge part with some 400 series SS or a tool steel filler?? Anyone try taking a flat piece of plain steel and just running beads on the face in a pattern of SS filler then forging it out and etching for some "cheated" damascus?? :confused: :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbillysmith Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Has anybody welded plain steel with SS filler just for the joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Covington Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I weld a lot of stainless to mild steel and almost always use 309. We have used 7018 in special spots with 309 over top. Some times when we can't get it clean we use 6011 with 309 on top,but our business is rendering which is always greasy or wet.

Hillbillysmith Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 JR, I have heard of this rod. And I have also heard of the shotty mess it makes as well. My teacher told me about this and said that he bought some to try it and told me just that. JUNK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aametalmaster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I welded alot of stainless steel parts to carbon steel when i worked in the fab shop. Most of the time it was welded with ER309L stick rod if it was heavy plate to SS and sometimes it was just welded with the mig with steel wire. Here is a good all around rod for lots of different metals Royal 220M.CROWN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
