Welding Advice for stainless

maverick_26 · May 13th, 2008, 01:55 AM

I have a lincoln 140c mig gas welder. I built my own turbo hot piping for 98 mustang but want to redo everything in 304 stainless for corrosion resistance and longitivity. Is there anyone out there with experience welding 304 stainless exhaust piping? What gas and wire would you use to weld it?

I believe its straight argon for SS with SS wire, but i have not done it, and am not sure.

Use 100% argon and 308L wire. I will tell you now that you are going to have to take your time. The stainless will get hot very fast and sugar.
