Yeah, I know, the proper way to weld stanless steel is probably with a heliarc 
or tig with some rare gas found only in outer space and expenxive rod that 
rivals diamonds in per pound value - - but - - !  I'm laying out a core support 
for my new radiator, and in my junk pile I come across the perfect piece to 
use.  I'm pretty sure it is stainless.  It was originally part of a store 
display shelf for clothing.  It was covered with surface rust, but a minute on 
the wire brush brought it back smooth and shiny.
 
The Question.  In a non-stress environment like a radiator core support, can I 
weld that stainless using my regular Mig with CO2/Argon that I have, with my 
regular mild steel wire.  If not, can I gas weld it with mild steel rod.  How 
about brazing with flux coated brass rod?  Can I weld or braze it to mild steel 
(mounting tabs)?
 
Thanks
