metal question
can stainless steel be brazed? or welded? what kind of steel could it be welded to? just stainless? i have a project in mind, and was just wondering. also, which aluminum would be better to use? 6061 or 7075? in so far as machining it.

You can weld stainless to steel with a tig. You use filler rod 309 for welding 304 to steel and 308 for 304 to 304.

sweet. im going to make a bolt for an airgun that uses a remington 700 bolt handle, and the factory Rem bolt handle is stainless. the steels you quoted in the post are all stainless steels? also, i was reading up on 7075, and its stronger than 6061 but is it as easily machined as 6061? the aluminum is for another part of the build. also, from a machinists standpoint, if i wanted to mimic a contour thats 1.20″ x 3″ w/a strait taper to .91″ (its the barrel contour, the barrel’s 24″ long)…would it be easier to have 1.20″ x 3″ w/a taper down to 1″ over the length of 3″, and the 1″ for the remainder of the barrel shroud? thanks again. im not a machinist, and im just trying to make this look like i want it to, but trying to make it as cheap as possible too. although i know most of this build will be crazy expensive. thanks again for any and all help.
