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

Im not an expert but if i was given that task i would either A. Braze it (its like Oxy welding with brass filler) or B. just weld it with something like a 75/25 Ar/CO2 gas.
Why not just test a weld on a small scrap, this way you can check for penetration and all.
Next question.. Steel parts and your coming in under weight?!?
