Hello, I am trying to plan some activities related to stainless steel welding in a very tight time schedule. Janusz, There would be no difference if you used a pulsed MIG, like a Synchro-pulse 450, properly programmed for filler wire, and the appropiate gas mixture. I believe Lincoln have a similiar machine as well. I hope this is of some assistance. The time difference should not be significantly different given the same thickness of material and operator skills.
Stainless steel has good weldability and poses no problems during welding.
The 1.6mm is for thin plate , dairy tubing etc . The 2.6mm Is for anything from 1.6mmm plate,pipe etc. The heating at the welding line has reduced corrosive resistance. Any technique to deal with this problem. Thank in advance.
