I did some welding trials at the weekend with the usual stainless steel. But the stainless steel welding wire I had gave little too hard weld joint, especially in cast iron, as it happened a kind of curing process. New softer line was ordered, but in the meantime I tried a little stainless "wire" from a window viper, the one lying lengthwise on each side of the rubber. It had the right amount of quality and was easy to turn in the lathe afterwards!
Visually this "poor man's trick" could be worth sharing with others. Stainless steel wire costs the slightly too! Moreover, it is good reuse!
The stainless steel "threads" with rectangular profile is the free, from discarded wiper blades. And you are not always sure they are recycled?
They should also be used in gas welding (acetylene / autogen), but here I have not tried this out with different steel grades.
The stainless steel wires or rods have enough other uses. Retrieving Thread to nuts that have fallen down between the engine compartment, etc.
They have in general good quality as far as I can judge.
Feel free to good ideas?
