Stainless steel, known for its high resistance to corrosion, is a type of high-alloy steel made up of varying levels of chromium and nickel, offering superior conditions and benefits when compared to ordinary steels.

Industries that use stainless steel as a raw material often carry out the welding process to manufacture or recover parts, equipment and structures.

Welding is nothing more than the joining of two metal parts by means of a heat source, with the possibility of it being done with or without the application of pressure.

For this to happen, sufficient energy must be produced to join the materials, avoiding contact between the place where they were melted or heated and atmospheric air. It is important to remove any surface impurities that may arise from the base metal or the filler metal.

Other aspects that are relevant to the stainless steel welding process also include the safety that must be ensured in handling and finishing, ranging from attention to the chemical composition of the material to the proper use of sanding belts that generate straight scratches.
