[Column] Types and Content of Stainless Steel Welding Processing

It is important to choose the appropriate welding method! We will introduce the reasons why it is said to be difficult and a case study from Osaka Shinshin.

Welding stainless steel is considered very difficult. The reason for this is that the methods and countermeasures for welding differ completely depending on the type. Stainless steel can be broadly divided into three types: martensitic, ferritic, and austenitic. Each type has its own characteristics, such as a tendency to crack at high temperatures or become brittle when welded, so it is important to understand these differences. Additionally, there are various welding methods. It is essential to grasp these methods properly and choose the appropriate one for the type of stainless steel being welded, making knowledge and experience very important. This article explains five welding methods and the precautions specific to each type of stainless steel. By reading the article, you will understand the specific points, making it less likely to experience welding defects. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
