I tried E71T-11 (flux-core, Lincoln Electric brand) on stainless steel last night, and thought it was holding pretty good. Again, I'm a beginner.

Is this a good thing to be doing? Say for strength, longevity, etc. Are there any flux-core wire that is better suited for SS?

Thanks.

 

No.

Well, what are you welding together and is it a critical joint?

 

No... Not structural or anything... I was thinking of intakes and exhausts, something along that line.

 

It'll stick but I wouldn't recommend it.

 

yes, there is a SS flux core stainless wire made by Addifix. It is the 942 wire. It is a bit expensive though.
