301 stainless steel half hard 20 guage

Why is it so hard to weld and grind smooth? Using 308 filler rod repairing the panels on the outside of a train. Train body is from Japan.

---------------------------------------------------

301 has more manganese that allows it to work harden.

Same stuff used in abrasion resistant steel.

reminds me of the old saying

"harder than Japanese arithmetic"
