New to this forum or any welding forum so hi to all.
Been mig welding myself for a few months now mainly on body panels and stuff as im restoring an old vw project of mine. I enjoy it!
Anyways the time has come to make a downpipe for my truck. And i want to make it in stainless steel.
Had a quick look into and am i right in saying that i should use 308 wire? I guess its stainless...i dont want the welds rusting away. Or does the wire type depend on the grade of stainless steel?
Also should i be using an argon/c02 mixture or can i use just c02?
Im currently using a clarke 135 te welder and im going to e making this downpipe very soon so any info is much appreciated.
Many thanks
