welding 304 to 9% Ni steel 1

[gijsroovers]

How can you weld a large pipe of stainless steel (304) into a 9% Ni steel container. Is this possible, do you need special welding rods, How do you account for thermal expansion and crimp?
Thanks in advance

A good source of information can

"Welding Stainless and 9% Nickel Steel Cryogenic Vessels" by Avery and Parsons, the Weld Journal Nov 95. Order on nidi website - search 9% Nickel for link.

You can weld it with ERNiCr-3 / ENiCrFe-3 fillers (Inconel 82 types).

Or ENiCrFe-1 (e.g., Inconel 132)
