What is the Stainless Steel Cladding?
The duplex steel is less ductile when compared to austenitic grades. Stainless Steel Cladding Thickness. The thickness of the cladding is typically in the range of 1.5 to 5mm. Higher than 5mm cladding is possible. The cladding thickness of less than 1.5 mm is difficult. The cladding thickness of explosive bonding ranges from 1.5 mm to 2.5 cm.

The length and width of a weld can have a great effect on cost. By not specifying size, length and number of welds, and by avoiding fillets that are welded all around, the size of a weld can be limited, reducing cost. Addition-ally, choosing weld locations and orientations that more directly resist primary service stresses can reduce weld size.

So you could weld 304 Stainless Steel with a 308 or 316 Rod/Wire, but you shouldn't weld 316 with a 308 Rod/Wire. 308 and 316 grades of Welding Rod/Wire are often modified from the basic alloy.
