Sorry to bring up an old topic but just wondering the same.
I have to weld some c section brackets (say 4" x 2") to 5-6" stainless steel tube (4mm wall). It's for cattle barriers. Obviously it would be cheaper if I could get away using mild steel c section but would it hold? Not exactly safety critical but I don't want to have to come back to the job. It's outside also. I know to use dissimilar rods.
