I am working in a light mechanical environment, so not structural.

I want to connect a spring made from austenitic stainless steel to a low-carbon mild steel bracket.

For the spring, I had in mind s302 or s304l (1.4310/1.4306). Both materials are thin, i.e. 0.6mm. The bracket can be any low spec., low carbon, mild steel.

Can I spot weld the materials, or is it best to tack-weld them?

This is only a test, and will be tested immediately, so there are no long-term corossioon issues.

I would appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience as this is a live and urgent project.

Thanks in advance

Dave
