Yes, I know people prefer to TIG stainless. I don't have that. I have the same 120v Lincoln welder that I have been using for the past 15 years.
I also have a set of SSIs that I can practice on and maybe repair before getting to the main task of adding an 02 bung to a different set of SSI pipes. So, what's the process? Gas mix? Obviously it needs to be really clean. Any specific filler spools I should be looking at? Zach |

Oh...filler wire suggestions.
I'd use 304L L is for low carbon. Remember SS work hardens and on the SSHI they've been worked. Think mostly that's why they crack. Ton's of threads on that as you know. But if it's just for practice....go for it. |
