    I know the few times I've welded stainless you have to get it a lot hotter than regular steel to get good penetration. So if you tried to to weld it to steel it would probably just melt the steel away.

    Never tried it, but I'm guessing that's what would happen.
    I ain't dumb, I just ain't been showed a whole lot!

    i have to most respectfully disagree...i have a friend who always uses stainless to replace rot that he has cut from car bodies...tig's it right to the original steel...i'm just wondering why it not used by more people...
