TIG Welding Stainless Steel Known as 300 series, austenitic stainless steels are the most commonly welded. These chrome nickel steels, in contrast to lower cost stainless have more alloys and are “non magnetic” (Exception, types 310 – 330). Austenitic grades of stainless steel typically contain a minimum of 16-26% chromium and? 6-22% nickel. 308 Grade? stainless steel, for example, is

In the early nineteen hundreds, metallurgists noticed that chromium had a greater attraction to oxygen than iron did so they added the element chromium to steel. Studies prove that when at least 10% chromium was added, the chrome united with oxygen to form
