Can ordinary electrodes be welded to stainless steel? What's the effect?

Answer:

Yes, look at your skills and soldering points
No ordinary welding rod, OK?.The most common is J422 (E4303) titanium calcium acid low carbon structural steel welding rod.This type of electrode can only be welded to Q235 grade or slightly lower than Q235 of low carbon structural steel.Stainless steel type is more, no matter that kind of stainless steel, can not use J422 low carbon steel welding rod,The base metal electrode material is different, and the alloy element has a great difference, and the welding rod, molten iron and droplet base material can not be fused together.The thin stainless steel is welded by tungsten argon arc welding. The heavy stainless steel can be welded with stainless steel electrode. The welding rod should be made according to the material of the base metal, and the electrode with the same or similar component is selected. Specific electrode diameter, according to the base metal thickness, welding location and other factors.
It's hard to solder. It's best to use soldered joints
