Has anyone got any experience with welding 416 stainless. A customer of ours has had some fabs done in china and they all need re-working / replacing. From the little I've been able to find out on the net is that it is not at all easy to weld, requiring pre and post weld heat treatment. If we go ahead with the job i was planning on using 410 rods.
If anyone has got any advice it would be very much appreciated.
On a side note i know 416 is magnetic but does anyone know just how magnetic it should be. I've tried a magnet on these fabs and they are very magnetic, as magnetic as mild steel.
