High strength steels continue to be popular for fabrication and manufacturing applications that require materials with less weight and thinner sections — without sacrificing strength. These include the building of cranes, Offshore Jack-up legs, heavy equipment, pressure vessels, bridges and more…

The most important material property is good toughness at low temperatures. Weld metal properties are often the limiting factor…

Welding of stainless steel requires knowledge about the material as well as welding methods and products to maintain the material’s stainless properties.

Stainless steel is not a specific material, but a common term for a group of corrosion-resistant steel types. Stainless steels are steels which normally have a chromium content of at least 10.5%.
