hello folks. I recently started working at a brewery with a lot of
302 stainless steel. My job is general brewery stuff but since I have
experience TIG welding steel bicycle frames the brew master would like
me to weld some stuff for him. I'm looking for any info related to
TIG welding 302 stainless steel. I've gathered so far ER308 or ER312
filler rod and argon coverage on both sides of the weld. a kick in
the right direction or any more info would be greatly appreciated.
also, what happens if I wouldn't purge the inside of a stainless tube
when welding? I'm thinking of stuff like handrails where only the
outside sees any duty.
thanks, dave
