A workshop designed to provide basic principles on welding and fabricating stainless steel, targeted at all those involved in fabrication, especially engineers and senior management, was held recently at Outokumpu Stainless in Sheffield, UK. Specialists from Outokumpu Stainless, TWI Ltd and the British Stainless Steel Association [BSSA], outlined best welding practices and corrected some of the current misconceptions concerning fabricating with stainless steel. Other topics in the workshop included highlighting fabrication differences between standard and high performance grades of stainless and outlining available technical support and development facilities. The event was jointly sponsored by Outokumpu Stainless, TWI and the BSSA in association with the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining and the Association of Welding Distributors.
