If it sticks to it, its not stainless. < Message edited by matador -- 11/13/2006 7:19:47 PM > _____________________________ Matador 2006 Chevy Silverado Z71 5.3 4x4 (in reply to 99Silverado) Post #: 2

I work for a medical implant maker - 17-4 is used for instruments and is magnetic and 300 series we use for implants is not! Mudweiserz71: I guess I don't need to weld to it with just my regular wire feed welder. I'll need to get a MIG attachment and use SS wire. (in reply to matador) Post #: 6
