- In this video I answer several questions ask by you guys, can I mig weld stainless steel to mild steel? The answer is yes you can. The only down fall to doing this is that you loose some of the corrosive resistance by using mild steel filler. This is a common used practice in the hot rod and muscle car world when your building a car or truck on a budget. Also make sure you check out my how to mig and tig weld play list.

Hearing that accent when someone is either fabricating or doing pew pew stuff is guaranteed to have some fun result 😅
Hahaha you got that right!!!
Thanks for demostrating, especially fixing the burn threw holes which usually I do.
Thank you for watching!!!!!
I'm a complete hack of a welder, I taught myself from old 1950's manuals, hah, but I've been fortunate enough to be buddies with some excellent welders, my uncle builds custom bicycle frames and his welds are gorgeous. But my point is, I know just enough to know your great tips per minute count is some of the highest I've seen on CZcams. I know there is a right way to do stuff, and I was a machinist before I got disabled, and I was even on the fussy end of the spectrum by machinist standards, but now that I'm disabled, I got lots of time, but not so much cash, so I gotta use what I can scrounge, and I'm always welding up "Riggins and Jiggins" as I call them on the farm, stuff to make my chores easier, so you pros 2ho take the time to show how to it the wrong way (welding stainless to mild) as right as possible, are so helpful, cause the manuals will just be lazy, and say don't do it, hah. For example, I'm kinda broke down, bad disc in my back, but I still drag old iron machinery home, and the stuff in my budget is always back in the berry patches, on farms without a big loader to load it for me, so I really want a gin pole setup for my $500 f550, but I'm up in New England now, and there aren't 47,000 ranchers selling drill pipe cheap up here, but I did score some free stainless tubing from a milking machine outfit, it's so nice and thick walled, I don't want to think what it would cost new, hah, but I don't have any thick stainless plate to do the tabs on the ends, so here I am, looking up how to stick stainless to mild, and I'm learning cool tricks like your v finger trick, on how to but weld tubing less badly than I normally do, hah. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching, I always wanted to be a machinist, that work has always fascinated me!!! Thank you for the support and keep on arcin and sparkin!!!!
Really enjoying ya channel mate. Love ya welding tips and tricks. Also love your honesty showing any imperfections or things that needed fixing. Cheers :)

Love your videos! They are simple to understand and something the shade tree guy can learn and do
Thank you very much, I try to make em easy enough for a simple minded person like me to understand lol
I have a project coming up this week to change out the muffler piping and I have the exact rusted mild steel and will be joining it to a stainless steel tip.
Thank you for showing me how this is done. Now I have the confidence to tackle this project!

Great tips 👍
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, I wondered about this, especially if there was any reaction because of dissimilar metals, but wanted to try it anyway. Loving the truck by the way.
Thank you!!! I have a few videos on building the truck in my playlist under 1965 c10 if you want to check it out!!!
Good instruction
Thank you!!!!!
I welded some square tubing to a stainless wash tub for a fire pit, I did use stainless wire but just regular 25/75 gas, turned out fine.
Awesome thanks for sharing, ill have to try that!!
I just ran flux ss wire with a tiny bit of 25/75 (5 cfm ish) welding exhaust and it seemed to work well. I just got a bottle for ss but I don’t have solid wire to test difference yet
Thank you for this video!!! Especially since I’m new to welding and would like to do a lot of my projects myself. Any tips you can share on your channel please do!! Thank you🔥🔥🔥
Thank you and thanks for watching, if you have any questions leave the here and ill try to see if i can help you out!!!
Awesome thank you
Thanks for watching!!!

Awesomeness
Thank you very much!!!!!
Great little tutorial, imma get out there and try it!
Awesome thanks for watching, good luck!!!
Didn't know Gomer Pyle was a welder. Nice video. Cool accent.
HHahahaha
Dude really has his Dale Jr. imitation down!
You got it wrong Dale jr talks like me lol, he grew up 10 miles from me lol
@@ACDesignsGarage LOL I just know he could take a break and let you do NASCAR commentary and no one would notice.
@@ACDesignsGarage You must be from good old NC! I live in Wilmington. But, I had to have a buddy interpret a lot of stuff you said. You kinda hold your mouth funny. Lol
I don't feel bad about my welds now. I had to just go with it and weld stainless to stainless fast and try to zig zag at the same time. I used steel wire because f stainless wire...I may try to tig my next project of stainless exhaust pipe.
The tig is the way to go in my opinion
where did you get your orange height adjustable table? Would it work for raising mowers? I do work on mowers and 4 wheelers.
There awesome, I got mine used but I think harborfreight has them!!!
Ive got a mig w/ 75/25 gas and was wondering exactly the questions you answered in this: can I just cheaply weld up an ugly exhaust to get my car inspected. Thanks!
Awesome glad it helped!!!!
Quality
Thank you
Could put a 1 in. wide inner sleeve between pipe sections to absorb burn-through, or prevent it.
But you lose 100 + hp.
Yeah that would work, who needs an extra 100 hp lol, thanks for watching!!
Should be using 309 wire to join stainless to mild steel, not stainless on the mild as it will crack.
Hello sir. Have you done this with both 409 and 304 stainless? I have a header adapter that is 304 and I need to weld an O2 bung (mild steel) to it. Thank you.
Just 304 is what the tubing was that I used in the video. It should do fine, but the weld and o2 will rust. Are you mig welding it or tig? If I was gonna tig it id use 308L tig wire its a good all around filler.
@@ACDesignsGarage Thank you for your reply. I actually purchased a new 304 bung to go with the 304 pipe. Can I still weld that with standard wire or should I do stainless wire? I would like to tig it but just learning Tig and not ready for stainless yet.
what paint do I need to use to prevent rust.?
On exhaust id probably use vht header paint
What's the best machine settings for exhaust pipe wire speed and voltage ?????????
Id guess around 16v 195 to 200 on wfs. Let me know how ot goes we may have to adjust!!!!
@ACDesignsGarage thanks for the info
I will try that setting when my driver tall pipe comes in monday I'm putting twin pipes on my 92 dodge dakota v6 that I'm restoring
Hello are you using a stainless steel wire or just mild steel wire.. Just wonder thanks.
Just mild steel, if you used stainless steel wire your weld wouldnt rust.
MIG Er70s .035 wire, crank up the heat and go like heck...
Heck yeah!!!!
So I can weld a stainless steel connection pipe to my existing steel exhaust pipe with just a regular gas welder no need for anything special?
Yes you can the ,only thing you need to do is paint the weld bead and maybe a little on eaither side of the bead because it will rust with the mild steel filler .
@@ACDesignsGarage awesome!! Thank you and your video was very helpful!
*0:10** Can you? YES.*
*Should you? NEVER.*
Unless you are only doing something temporary, or for emergency.
Exhaust I don't have a problem as long as you paint your welds, structural probably not
Don't need all that hose clamp Contraption flat on the table and tack weld
Haa yes (so low its gonna drag the welds off anyways so...)😎 #Doooope
Hahaha thats how we roll, thanks for watching!!!!!
You sound like dale jr
Na Dale Jr. Sounds like me lol he grew up in the same town as me.
bord bord yap yap
only thing intresting was the angle and clips
So many words coming out of the dude yakin
There’s gotta be a better way
Tig would be better but I made this for beginners that only have mig.
Trimix gas is better.
Haven't tried the trimix's yet!
