Hi,
I have a crack in my stainless steel exhaust (due to the bike falling over) which I need to weld over. Pic here:
Unfortunately I know very little about welding, and absolutely nothing about welding stainless.
I have a MIG welder which I use for bodging plates over rust holes on my old car, but I am self taught so don't have much knowledge. I have a big bottle of CO2 pub gas which seems to do the trick and a small bottle of argon. The wire I have is 'normal stuff' for normal metal.
So, what do I need? There will be no major stress on the weld, so a bodge will be fine (the crack has been there relatively unchanged for 3 years now). I assume I need some special wire? Do the same rules on power and wire speed apply? (Hmm... I don't really know the rules for normal metal!)
Ta for any help, Steve
