Stainless steel welding

Hello makers and @metaltechs,

Do we have the ability to weld stainless steel at the space? Afaik it’s a TIG use case, while MIG is possible if we have the right gas according to the interwebs - which I doubt we have.

I’m making a metal flower and need to combine the petals. If anyone has experience and knows how I could get that done I would be eternally grateful.

Aluminum is definitely way easier in the TIG world but MIG should be fine for stainless. You’ll have to be a bit more careful but it’s doable. Ideally you’d change to a stainless spool, use a different gas mix, and we’d make a chromium adjustment to the RA :slight_smile:

Awesome. Sounds like a 15 min job :tired_face:

Let’s get cracking! This would be fun!

We can buy stainless steel wire and another tank of gas if needed… let me know what we need…
