Welding Stainless Steel

jims-terrano · 07-08-2019, 10:27

What I know or at least understand so far is that ordinary mild steel mig welding wire with co2 & 5% argon will weld stainless although obviously the weld will be prone to corrosion.
Can I use stainless wire with my current basic mig welder using my current gas mix so that I can make a little project and it will be strong and resistant to corrosion.

Thanks
