Stainless Welding Processes

The physical properties of different types of stainless steels are different from each other and this situation plays an important role in the welding process.

The austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel is one third of that of unalloyed steels. This indicates that the heat will remain in the seam zone for a long time, and it may lead some problems.

Chromium stainless steels generally have the same coefficient of thermal expansion as non-alloy steels. In the austenitic chromium-nickel steels this value is carbonaceous and less alloyed.
