Re: Welding stainless steel to mild steel... can it be done?

It is possible - I've seen it done in piping applications. They have different P numbers so it requires an uncommon weld procedure - talk to a welder. Generally you can use either filler material for dissimilar metals. You would probably want to purge it - welding the stainless has more problems than welding steel as far as the atmosphere during welding.
