Preheating and controlling temperature input are surely critical aspects of welding stainless steel to make sure the integrity of the welded joint. Another factor to deem is the potential for sensitization of the stainless steel throughout welding, which can lead to corrosion issues in service. Sensitization occurs when chromium carbides precipitate at the grain boundaries of the stainless steel, reducing its corrosion resistance. To mitigate sensitization, post-weld calefaction remedy or annealing may be required to restore the material's corrosion resistance and automated properties. Have you explored post-weld temperature remedy options for investment-cast 316 stainless steel weldments?
