Which electrode is used to weld stainless steel to carbon steel?
It depends on the type of stainless steel. Stainless steels come in various compositions and are identified by numbers and letters. Electrodes should be chosen that match these. For example when welding 316 stainless use type 316 electrodes. In a lot of situations you can safely use the next higher number. 304 stainless can be welded with 308 electrodes, 308 stainless with 310 electrodes. 309 electrodes are generally used to weld stainless to carbon steel.
How much does a gram of stainless steel cost?
Stainless steel is not actually a type of metal, but the name for a group of metals that share similar characteristics. Essentially any steel with a minimum of 10% chromium The correct name for stainless steel is "corrosion resistant steel" it can be marked by rusting in specific circumstances, it gets its name because it just "Stains less". Different grades of stainless steel (the grade describes exactly which metals, and in what quantities, they add into the mix when they initially make the metal) are used for specific purposes: * There is a grade of stainless used in maritime applications that resists attack by sea water. * There is a grade of stainless steel known as '440 stainless' originally developed specifically to make scalpel blades for surgeons, whilst difficult to sharpen by hand, this has an ability to hold its edge, and is often used in general knife making. * There are other grades used for general medical purposes, for making tools, bowls etc, these are great, as they can be used, cleaned, heated up to kill all bacteria, then packaged up ready for use the next time in sterile wrappings. * The chemical industry uses a lot of stainless steel, that can do things like withstand acid attacks or take superheated liquids. * The food industry also uses a lot of stainless steel in the manufacture of its products, again its ability to be cleaned down is of great use here. * The list goes on, stainless steel pans in the home, stainless steel nuts and bolts in your car etc etc So with all these different grades of stainless steel, which specific grade do you want a price on? some of the stainless steels are relatively inexpensive, yet others are extremely expensive.
