(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to plan some activities related to stainless steel welding in a very tight time schedule. I need to know how much more time in average does it take to weld stainless steel (DIN:X15CrNiSi2012) plate (e.g. 5 mm thick) comparing to welding of low carbon steel .
Thanks in advance!

RE: stainless steel welding
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. both machines quite expensive.
I hope this is of some assistance.

I trust you have checked that the 430 is passivated compared with the 420J2???
The base material (420) is oxidised next to the weld. This oxide layer impairs the corrosive resistivity and needs to be removed, either mechanically by grinding or by acid cleaning. There are some very good pickling pastes around for this purpose, try contacting your supplier of welding material.
Best of luck

if you use the process of shielded metal arc welding with good welder there would not be any diference in time
