Welding 416 Stainless Steel
Normally, resulfurized stainless steel is not considered weldable. However, if the design of the part accounts for the directional nature of the material and the weld, friction welding can be used to fabricate parts from Type 416. read more...

"Friction is ideal for welding dissimilar metals with very different melting temperatures and physical properties, such as copper to aluminum, titanium to copper, and nickel alloys to other steels. As a rule of thumb, forgeable metallic engineering materials are friction-weldable, as well as castings and powdered metals."
