Do you know any website where I can find welding properties of materials? (for example, min. and max. welding temperature of 316L, or A-105/N, and many other materials and properties..)
Thanks and regards,

Recommended for you

This site provides information for free


This site is also good for basic reference information related to welding


Also, you might want to visit the ASM International web site to view any books that you might want to consider for purchase


and the American Welding socity, which may have reference books of interest

 
Also refer to information from manufacturers of the products. Many manufaturers have suggestions for welding in thier literature.
A-105/N is essentially carbon steel. Your service conditions may dictate what should and should not be done when welding these materials.

Another excellant source is the little guides put out by the
larger filler metal manufacturers.

I don't know if they are still published so you will have to check with your consumables supplier or at a particular manufacturers website. They were normally given free to the larger users but if not they $5 to $10 and well worth it.

I have two from the late 80's and did have one from a little later. Mine are very compact 3"x8" and contain a wealth of information like the preferred rod for various materials by specification, All welding characteristics for each type electrode, cross reference to other manufacturers. and pertinent code compliance for a particular electrode.
Even if you can't get a newer version get what's available and it will have information on the filler metals up to that date and all you have to do is keep up to the newer materials.
