Stainless steel welding
Stainless steel welding
(OP)
Do not yet have copy of D1.6 but would appreciate help with the following. Note, all material is 316SS, all plate construction.
What filler metal should be specified?
What is the tensile strength of this filler?
Is the allowable shear stress for stainless welding calculated the same as carbon steel, i.e 0.3(Tensile strength)? If not, what is the allowable per AWS?

RE: Stainless steel welding
316 = 75 ksi min tensile
316L = 70 ksi min tensile
This goes for stick electrodes (A5.4), flux core wire (A5.22), and solid wire (A5.9 although only in the appendix)
