[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
