I live in the uk and i nead to know of a supplier of 5kg 0.8 stainless
steel welding wire. I nead to know who you guys recomend as the cheapest Sstainless mig welding wire supplier. (UK) I also would like some advice .. it's not critical what type of stainless wire I use.....the only properties I want of it is for the welds not to rust....IS THERE A GENERIC WELDING WIRE Dont ask me what type of stainless I'm welding because I dont know ....I just go around the scrap yards and pick out only stainless that is non magnetic and I pay about 50p a kilo for it. Some welding s/s wire I have used in the past has been slightly magnetic....am I wrong but does this stuff rust.....the stuff I weld will be used in a marine enviroment but not submerged....eg boat trailers . The stuff that I weld up is usually non critical and of the opinion that s/s welds are stronger than mild steal welds anyhows.... although i want argue if someone says otherwise.. and yes I know all about contamination of the weld from liners used for mild steal and the use of mild steal contaminated tools to work it.. Found that any contamination usually rusts itself off after a period of 12 months..never to apear again. As you can see above I like to do things on the cheap.....so would appreciate answers with this in mind. all the best ...mark |
