I weld and pipefit for a living and work with a LOT of stainless. Anything from 304-347 stainless we use all the time. Anyway, when welding SS it wants to move around a lot more than carbon. I've also repaired a lot of stainless that had fatigued from being heated and cooled many times.
I'm just an inquiring mind and newbe. What kind of stainless is used to make barrels? I'm guessing there must not be issues with them walking around since I see a lot of people using them.
another question- we also work with metals like inconell and hastaloy or even 347 ss for that matter that are extremely hard and heat resistant. Has anybody ever thought of using something like that for cals like .260 .243 and such that are barrel burners?
