Compatibility of welding 316L and 17-4PH SS
(OP)
Is it possible to weld 316L and 17-4PH stainless? If so, what process would be best suited?
Thanks

The enviornment will mainly be seawater, but as far as the corrosion resistance of the materials, it would be best if they changed as little as possible. Basically the unchanged corrosion resistance of the 17-4PH would be the desired corrosion resistance of the welded structure.
As for strength, consider the unchanged strength of 316L as the bottom line for the welded strength of the 17-4PH.
Basically, both materials are suitable for the application alone, so the welded structure should have properties similar or better than the worst of the two materials.
Thanks for the help!
