The weldability, also known as joinability, [1] of a material refers to its ability to be welded. Many metals and thermoplastics can be welded, but some are easier to weld than others (see Rheological weldability). A material's weldability is used to determine the welding process and to compare the final weld quality to other materials.

904L is an austenitic stainless steel.It is softer than 316L, [1] [2] and its molybdenum addition gives it superior resistance to localized attack (pitting and crevice corrosion) by chlorides and greater resistance reducing acids; in particular, its copper addition gives it useful corrosion resistance to all concentrations of sulfuric acid.
The efficiency is dependent on the welding process used, with shielded metal arc welding having a value of 0.75, gas metal arc welding and submerged arc welding, 0.9, and gas tungsten arc welding, 0.8. [64] Methods of alleviating the stresses and brittleness created in the HAZ include stress relieving and tempering. [65]
A572 steel is typically used in structural applications due to its high strength, ductility, weldability and corrosion resistance. [4] These applications include structural sections, reinforcing bars, bridges, skyscrapers and houses.
This low voltage, low heat welding works well on thin sheet metal. It is also being used for thicker material where the integrity of the weld is important. When metal is overheated it affects its structural properties; CMT welding keeps the heat to a minimum, resulting in little change to the structure of the metal, and a stronger weld. [2]
Weldability refers to the capacity of steel to be welded into a satisfactory, crack free, sound joint under fabrication conditions without difficulty. [1] Welding is possible in cold-formed steel elements, but it shall follow the standards given in AISI S100-2007, Section E. 1.When thickness less than or equal to 3/16" (4.76mm):
Carbon steel is heated to approximately 550 °C (1,000 °F) for 1 hour; this ensures the steel completely transforms to austenite. The steel is then air-cooled, which is a cooling rate of approximately 38 °C (100 °F) per minute. This results in a fine pearlitic structure, and a more-uniform structure.
