I’m learning as I go here, I was just curious as to why this happened
I was trying to weld a ½” stainless steel bolt to some mild steel, I know you would normally need a different shielding gas than the 25/75 arg/co2 but I figured I wouldn’t need much strength for what I was doing.
Using my simple 115 v mig set at a high setting and fast wire speed I gave it a zap to tack the bolt in place…it just about melted the bolt away. Why would that happen? I thought SS was supposed to be stronger than mild steel?
Thanks.
