Need SS filler recommendation...

Oct 30, 2008 1 Replies

I have acquired some stainless SCUBA tank clamp bands that were made for tanks a bit larger than the typical 80CF aluminum cylinders. I need to cut them down and reweld them to use on my 80CF tanks. The SS alloy of the bands is unknown. I need a recommendation on what SS filler to use for TIGing them back together. I don't have any SS filler on hand, so I have to go shopping no matter what the recommendation is.



Thanks,



Pete C.


They could be 304 SS, but to be safe use 316L or 317L filler.
