TIG welding (GTAW)

TIG welding is widely used in the fabrication sector for stainless steel since it has a stable arc and the process is automated. In the TIG process, the heat applied to the weld can precisely be controlled through a foot pedal or finger control, minimising the possibility of warping. TIG welding machines can also switch between AC and DC polarities, offering flexibility and convenience simultaneously.

 

MIG welding (GMAW)

MIG welding is another popular choice for welding stainless steel. It offers faster speeds than TIG welding mainly thanks to its continuously fed electrode. One downside of this technique is that it doesn’t look as pleasing to the eye as properly executed TIG welds.

 

A Teflon wire liner in the MIG gun allows for a consistent wire feed to the weld pool and added protection from contamination. Backstepping, staggering or allowing the joint to undergo a bit of the cooling process helps avoid warpage since stainless steel retains heat well.

 

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW)

Stick-welding stainless steel is often the practical choice regarding cost, portability and simplicity. SMAW can be performed in almost any environment and thus is great for various repair jobs and welding stainless steel outdoors.

 

Thicker pieces of stainless steel (above 2mm) are most suitable for SMAW since it is harder to control the heat input than with other methods. Selecting the electrode (typical grades: 316, 308, or 312) is an important part of the project. Beware of slag removal after the welding as it might be a bit of a struggle.

 

Flux cored arc welding (FCAW)

Flux-cored arc welding stainless steel is sometimes preferred over SMAW since it generally creates a more uniform weld bead. FCAW can be performed with a shielding gas when working with varying material thicknesses or in demanding welding conditions.

 

A 10° drag angle allows the flux to rise at the weld pool and gives enough bead coverage.

 

Resistance welding

Resistance welding (spot welding, seam welding) stainless steel creates clean welds compared to arc welding processes since it doesn’t use filler material and has no risk of weld spatter. The high electrical resistance of stainless steel is also favorable since it can complete a weld in a short amount of time.

 

A good quality welder with sufficient power output is necessary for resistance welding stainless steel to prevent the areas close to the HAZ from deformities. It is recommended to have higher current and voltage values when welding stainless steels compared to, for example, copper and aluminium alloys due to the difference in electrical conductivity.

 

Friction welding

Friction welding stainless steel, similar to resistance welding, doesn’t use consumables, making it an economical choice when the part geometries allow for it. It is most suitable for welding austenitic stainless steel due to its composition of chromium (16-26%) and nickel (8-22%).

 

Some factors that need to be considered are friction pressure, burn-off length and rotational speed. Some sub-types of friction welding may be suitable for specific applications: friction hydro pillar processing (FHPP), friction stir welding (FSW) and friction plunge welding.

 

 

Applications of Stainless Steel Welding Processing：

 

 

Food processing and handling:

Stainless steel’s hygienic properties make it perfect for food processing equipment, tanks, piping, and utensils. Welding ensures smooth, crevice-free joints that prevent bacterial contamination and facilitate easy cleaning.

 

Medical and pharmaceutical:

Surgical instruments, implants, and medical equipment require precise and sterile welds. Stainless steel’s biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it an excellent choice for these applications.

 

Architecture and construction:

Stainless steel is used for structural components, facades, railings, and decorative elements in buildings. Welding provides strong and visually appealing joints that can withstand weather and environmental exposure.

 

Automotive and transportation:

Exhaust systems, fuel tanks, and other components in cars, trucks, and trains are often made of stainless steel. Welding ensures leak-proof joints and structural integrity.

 

Chemical processing:

Reactors, storage tanks, piping, and other equipment used in chemical processing industries rely on stainless steel’s corrosion resistance. Welding creates strong and reliable joints that can withstand harsh chemicals and high temperatures.

 

Oil and gas industry:

Offshore platforms, pipelines, and refinery equipment utilize stainless steel for its strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Welding ensures the integrity of these critical structures.

 

Kitchen and appliances:

Sinks, countertops, appliances, and cookware are often made of stainless steel for its durability and easy cleaning. Welding is used to create seamless joints and ensure a hygienic surface.

 

Consumer goods:

Bicycles, cutlery, jewelry, and other consumer products are made of stainless steel for its aesthetic appeal and resistance to wear and tear. Welding is used to join components and create intricate designs.

 

Energy production:

Nuclear power plants, solar panels, and wind turbines utilize stainless steel for various components. Welding ensures reliable connections and structural integrity in demanding environments.

 

Marine applications:

Stainless steel is used for boat hulls, propellers, and other marine components due to its resistance to saltwater corrosion. Welding creates strong and watertight joints.

Different Types of Stainless Steel Sheet Bending：
 

V bending. This is the most common bending process and is named so because of the V-shaped punch and die used in the process. The punch presses the metal sheet into the lower die, resulting in a V-shaped workpiece.

 

Bottoming. The Upper punch completely presses the metal sheet into the Lower die, so the angle of the mold determines the final angle of the workpiece. Bottoming can reduce sheet rebound and provide good accuracy.

 

Air bending. Air bending provides greater flexibility, helping you achieve results between 90 and 180 degrees with multiple bends as adjustments. Of course, its accuracy will be lower than Bottoming’s.

 

Coining. Coining has been popular in the past, but with the development of CNC Press Brake, its application has gradually decreased.

 

U bending. U bending is similar to V bending in that it also uses the Upper punch to press down on the Lower die. But its shape is U-shaped and is mostly used for manufacturing U-shaped channel steel.

Stainless Steel Polishing & Brushing

Step bending. Step bending is the multi-V bending, which can make the workpiece bend a large radius, but also can perform several small V bending in succession.

 

Roll bending. This process is used for bending workpieces with large curls and involves the use of three rolls driven by a hydraulic system to bend the sheet. For example, it allows the sheet to be bent into tubes and cones. If necessary, large radius bending can also be manufactured, which can be rolled once or multiple times simultaneously.

 

Wipe Bending. This method is similar to edge bending, namely bending the edge of sheet metal, and the width bending tool also determines the inner radius of the bending. The plate is placed on the lower die and pressure is applied to the protruding metal by a pressure pad and punch, resulting in bending.

 

Edge bending. This method involves the use of upper and lower molds that move up and down for bending. It’s usually used for shorter stainless steel plates to reduce sharpness and prevent damage to the bending edge.

 

Rotary bending. This method can bend the workpiece with a degree of more than 90. The final profile is similar to a V-bend, but the profile surface is smoother.
