I have become reasonably proficient using my MIG welder on mild steel using the flux wire filler. And i always assumed that welding a stainless fitting to one of my precious stainless pots was not possible with my MIG setup. I figured it needed to be TIG and you needed to be really good with it (experienced).
Anyhow, I recently noticed that Stainless is available in the 2 lb spools and that they even make stainless with flux in it - presumably so no shielding gas is required. My MIG welder does have gas capability so I can do the shielding gas if needed. And i have plenty of CO2 as well...
Obviously I will need to get some scrap stainless to practice on.
So the big question to you welding experts; Is it possible to get good results welding stainless with MIG equipment?
Thanks! It is now brew thirty and time for a beer
