AISI 616 Weldability?
AISI 616 Weldability?
(OP)
I'm unfamiliar with this type stainless steel or it's weldability, yet have an emergent need to add .050" of weld build up to bars of this material for alignment purposes. Can anyone provide guidance?? Thanx is advance.

This is a weldable alloy. However, could you please provide specific service details? The reason for my asking is for the proper selection of filler metal. For service temperatures below 1000 deg F, an Inconel or Ni base filler metal would work.
AISI Type 422 will require a 500 deg F preheat, and stress relief that could result in warpage to a finished product.
