Letters Soldering,Mig/Tig Continuous jointing Stainless Steel Letters

TIG is the best method for welding thin stainless sheet, but long run sheet welds on outside corners are a problem, distortion can make it impossible to do, plus high skill needed. If the welds are not over maybe 2" in length, no problem. Fitted properly, no filler rod is even needed, you could automate the process easily, if quantities dictate this.

Thanks very much for your advice andprompt reply which will be taken great attention of bt me. any further tips from anyone who may know of any of the methods for jointing Stainless steel will be appreciated...

The more information you give the better the answers will be. My first thought was that you could use silver solder. That can be done with a little hand held propane torch. But it would be good to know what alloy the stainless is. Recently I made some parts out of 17-7 ph stainless intending to silver soldiering them together. Well 17-7 ph does not like ordinary silver solder. I made some more parts out of

316 stainless. But depending on what you are doing, could you not just use a sheet metal brake and put a right angle bend in the stainless rather than joining two pieces?

Stainless does not solder with regular solder
