carbon steel and stainless steel can be welded.
Welding between carbon steel and stainless steel usually requires the use of specific welding materials and techniques to ensure the quality and performance of the weld. Here are a few key points to note when welding carbon steel and stainless steel:
Choose the right welding material: Austenitic filler materials such as ER309L welding wire should be used when welding, because austenitic welding materials can provide good corrosion resistance and toughness.
Strength matching: Since the strength of stainless steel is usually higher than that of ordinary carbon steel, selecting the right welding parameters and materials can ensure that the strength of the welded joint meets the requirements.
Corrosion resistance change: Contact between stainless steel and carbon steel may lead to a decline in corrosion resistance on the stainless steel side, which is caused by iron ion pollution. To reduce this risk, painting or other surface treatments may be required after welding.
Potential corrosion problem: Dissimilar metal welding may cause potential corrosion, which is caused by the potential difference between the two metals formed in the electrolyte. To avoid this, measures can be taken, such as using an insulating gasket or coating to isolate the two metals.
Welding technology: A variety of welding technologies can be used, such as arc welding, submerged arc welding and mixed gas shielded welding. Each technology has its specific applications and advantages.
In general, although carbon steel and stainless steel can be welded, special attention needs to be paid to material selection, welding technology and follow-up treatment in the process to ensure the performance and durability of the welded joint.
