[PSUBS-MAILIST] Stainless Welding.



Hi All.

As my sub will be used in the sea, ive decided to make some parts out of stainless rather than mild steel.  In particular, i have made the hatch hinge arrangement all again.  (I made it from mild steel to start with).   Here is a picture of the original brackets i made.  http://www.guernseysubmarine.com/index_files/Page10471.htm

Ive made the whole thing now again from 316L (no picture yet) and its all assembled ready to weld to the conning tower.  Then i just thought of one thing...

I will be welding 316L on the brackets straight onto A516 on the tower.  Can anyone see any problems with that?  The welding of dissimilar metals straight onto the hull?

I think it should be no problems as the throughhulls are the same principle, but what do you all think?  Any problems that i havent thought about?

Thanks
James
