Any table tell what material could be welded with others?

You are mixing codes and materials. Stainless to carbon will need a PQR to prove it is able to meet the criteria for the job. No table.

I am very new. Please help. I see a table like this http://www.pierceindustries.com/weldable.html
But it only cover a little bit

Okay, I think we need to back up and explain ourselves a bit.

When you asked for a table, I ASSUMED (never do this at home without an expert assumer looking over your shoulder) you were referring to a table within the codes of D1.1 matched with D1.6 (carbon steel to stainless steel). To which my response was that there was not one and to accomplish the job you would need to do a PQR to qualify your materials and the filler which would be used to join them.

Now, you have changed the parameters of my 'assumption'. If 'any' table to match materials will do, I am sure there are several but I can't think of one off the top of my head. As Obewan said, Google it. It should be easy to find one.

Have a Great Day, Brent

Hi tofo

As stated by other forum members, there are many tables, but none will be complete. I will attach one which is typical of what you could get if you did a search. If you have a specific problem, please ask that directly and I am sure you will get more input.

I have located a few tables in the past by searching the web, but they did not cover all possible material combinations. I once read that there are some 4000 different alloys. Your best approach might be to use a very focused and targeted Google web search (if you have not done so already) for welding a to b, or something similar. Eventually over time you might be able to build your own table.

However, Brent is correct. At the end of the day, testing is still necessary.

I did try Google this topic, but I could not find any good table

I built a table once when I was working in the aerospace industry, but I had to do it piecemeal one material combination at a time. I had to run a targeted, focused, Google search every time a new welding project came up requiring a material combination that we had not previously qualified. Over time I managed to cobble together a table for the materials used at that employer. Unfortunately, I had to leave it behind since the employer then owned the data.

Your best bet is to search out the materials and filler metal suppliers. Sorry I cannot offer more assistance. What material combination are you presently concerned with?

Filler material manufacturers have tables that show some of the base material combinations that are typically used when using a filler material. impossible to list everything, if you dont see the material your trying to weld, ask the welding distributor or manufacturer for guidance.
