Filler Metal Selection for Stainless Steel

A cardinal rule in DMW is to “use a higher alloy filler metal.” For example in a weld between carbon steel and stainless steel, a stainless steel or a nickel alloy filler metal should be used. NEVER use an ordinary steel filler metal to join stainless steel or a nickel alloy to a carbon or low alloy steel. Such a weld would be hard, brittle and prone to cracking.

In welds made to carbon or low alloy steels, the corrosion resistance of the filler metal is seldom a concern. In most applications, the steel side would have much lower corrosion resistance than any of the higher alloy filler metals that might be used.
