MIG weld low carbon steel to stainless steel tubing
(OP)
Hello All,
this is a rather rudimentary question, but I wanted to know if it's possible to MIG weld low carbon steel to stainless steel tubing, and why? My instincts say not under normal conditions because of their different compositions, but I'm willing to try it anyhow.
If anyone has any ideas, please send them my way.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

A good source of information is available from the Nickel Development Institute http://www.nidi.org
This is a link to a paper on dissimilar metal-welds that has some good information http://www.nidi.org/multimedia/technical_support/technical_literature_pdfs/14000_reprint_series/14018.pdf

That's what I thought. My instincts went in that direction. The reason I questioned it is because a couple techs said it couldn't be done, but I didn't fully believe them.
You made my day.
Cheers and stars to you.
