Stainless welding is the process of joining two or more stainless steel pieces together using specialized welding techniques. Stainless steel is a popular material in a variety of industries due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. We have extensive knowledge of welding techniques, metallurgy, and safety procedures to produce high-quality welds that meet specific standards for strength, appearance, and longevity.
One of the unique challenges of stainless welding is that stainless steel has a low thermal conductivity, which means that it retains heat for longer than other metals. This can make it challenging to maintain precise control over the welding process. To address this challenge, we use specialized techniques such as back purging, which involves filling the backside of the weld with an inert gas to prevent oxidation and improve penetration.
Another important factor in stainless welding is the choice of filler metal. We select the appropriate filler metal based on the specific grade and composition of the stainless steel being welded to ensure that the finished product has the desired properties of strength, corrosion resistance, and appearance.
Stainless welding remains a crucial process in many industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and aerospace. With our training, equipment, and expertise at Gold Welding Co., we produce high-quality stainless steel structures that meet the exacting standards of these industries.
