Mig Welding Stainless Steel

Tig welding stainless steel is like an art form. It takes refinement, patience, a good eye, and eagerness to follow the rules for welding stainless. What are the rules?

Rule 2...never use a carbon steel brush or carbon steel filler rod. The weld might look fine for a few days but shortly it will rust and make you look like the slug you are if you're taking short cuts like that.

Rule 3...get in and get out. Farting around getting the weld going when you light up, or welding truly slow builds up heat that you just can't outrun. When you light up, ensure you are ready to weld. Get moving and race the heat. Distortion is a gigantic deal with immaculate too and low heat input helps forestall distortion. Occasionally a higher amperage will let you get in and get out and put less overall heat in the part.

Rule 4... Employ a gas lens . You want all of the help you can get with gas shielding because not simply the weld, but the hot tip of the stainless steel tig rod must be protected by argon. Why? Because oxidation of the hot tip of the filler makes the puddle sluggish. More amps means more staining, more heat input, and more distortion.

Rule 5... Hold a tight arc.

Rule 6... When welding sheet metal, occasionally the puddle will wander for different reasons like magnetic forces or heat sinks. Stay the course and go straight ahead. Things will settle in by themselves and be more uniform if you don't chase the puddle.
