Welding of stainless steel
Welding stainless steel is the process of joining parts made of this type of metal. Due to the specific properties of stainless steel, it requires special techniques and skills.
Stainless steel, also known for its anti-corrosive properties, is relatively difficult to weld due to the risk of losing valuable features at the weld site. The corrosion resistance is due to the presence of chromium, which reacts with oxygen to form a protective layer on the metal surface. It is therefore important to maintain this layer during the welding process.
Based on many years of experience, our company offers a service such as stainless steel welding in Warsaw for local clients and by mail order for clients from all over the EU.
Welding stainless steel with ordinary steel – what does it look like in practice?
As with black steel, welding stainless steel to ordinary steel requires a specialised approach. The selection of the right materials and technique is crucial here. Normal steel, or carbon steel, has different properties to stainless steel, which makes the process of joining the two metals extremely difficult. Inappropriate welding can lead to weakening of the joint and corrosion, so it is important to know the characteristics of both materials and to use appropriate welding techniques.
As stainless steel welding Warsaw is our strong point, we are able to meet even the most demanding orders. We are aware that precision and weld quality are crucial in many cases.
Stainless steel welding methods
in our company
There are several stainless steel welding methods that we use depending on the situation and the project. These include:
- Migomat welding of stainless steel – this is one of the most commonly used methods. It involves the use of the MIG (Metal Inert Gas) process, which uses an inert gas as a shield. MIG stainless steel welding provides a fast and clean joint, ideal for most applications. However, to achieve the best results, it is important to use the right gas mixture and select the right electrode. Also, the correct welding parameters, such as voltage and current, can affect the quality of the weld.
- TIG welding – stainless steel mig welding is a process that uses stainless steel tungsten electrodes and an inert gas to protect the metal being melted. It is ideal for precision work when excellent weld quality is required. MIG stainless steel welding allows the welder to have full control over the weld, making it ideal for thin sheets and delicate work.
- MIG MAG stainless steel welding – this is a combination of MIG and MAG techniques using both inert and active gas. This gives the ability to weld in a variety of conditions and on a variety of materials. The MIG/MAG process is faster than TIG, but may not provide the same precision.
Why choose us?
In addition to the above-mentioned Projects, we also undertake many other orders related to the welding of black and ordinary steel. All according to the guidelines and expectations of our clients. If you have a specific project or need advice on technical possibilities – please do not hesitate to contact us.
Stainless steel welding Warsaw – joining stainless steel to other metals
We also offer services for combining stainless steel with other metals, e.g. combining stainless steel with black. This requires special techniques and additional materials. Special care must be taken to avoid corrosion and other undesirable effects.
