welding 310SS with 316SS fluxcore

(OP)
my shop has accidentally welded a 310SS furnace door plug with 316SS fluxcore. the furnace does not go above 1400F. what problems could I expect.

RE: welding 310SS with 316SS fluxcore

You should have no problems with the weld metal at your temperature.

RE: welding 310SS with 316SS fluxcore

Hi
Doing a quick dilution calculation with assumed parent and consumable chemistry the resulting weld material will have approximately 5% ferrite. At 760deg C (1400 deg F) you may form some sigma which will reduce the notch toughness at ambient. Given your description since this “plug” is acting as a “plug” things should be ok.
