321 Stainless Steel
All common ways to weld, like submerged arc, work well with 321 stainless. AWS ER347 bare wire and E347 covered electrodes are good weld fillers. 321 stainless steel is easy to work with, just like 304 stainless steel. Compared to AISI B112, it can be worked on by machines 45 percent of the time.
