The welding of stainless steel

Abstract

Welding is the most used method of joining stainless steel. It is a special process whereby di erent pieces of solid metal are joined, at molten metal temperatures, to produce a joint that should have the same (or better) mechanical and corrosion resistant properties as the base material. It is a key element in the fabrication of many stainless steel products. Moreover, the welding of stainless steel
