SMAW (stick) welding stainless.

[1BadAction]

Yea, I know, TIG it... I will. What I want to do first is get everything cut and tacked into place on the truck, then take it out and fully TIG it at work. The only thing I have at home is a 200A Miller DC box. My question is, what kind of stick for 16ga to 1/4" 304SS? How does it work compared to a 6011 rod on steel? Any tips that will make my life easier? Thanks.

Use a 308L rod, and do a trial run to set your heat. It welds like a 7018 rod...

excellent, thanks for the info. If I can get a decent tack in 4 or 6 places around the pipe I'll be happy with it.

I also came across this page while searching, which is helpful for a n00b like me. http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/

Hey 1bad, How did it work out for you?

gas weld or mig would be better
why not tig it the first time around theres a tig machine for sale on here at a real good price

I actually ended up snagging a tig rig from work to do it. From what little I played with the stainless sticks, they worked fine, but it obviously didnt have the neat appearance of a tig weld.
