That's a great question! While investment-cast 316 stainless steel provides fairly good corrosion resistance and automated properties, welding it to stainless steel pipes may present some challenges. Differences in composition, microstructure, and residual stresses in between the cast and wrought materials can affect weldability and joint integrity. Can any individual share their experiences or insights into welding investment-cast 316 stainless steel to stainless pipe?
