Hi,

I recall hearing sometime ago that if stainless steel parts have been tumbled with alumina (aluminum oxide) media, that they are more difficult to weld, or have issues related to weld quality, as compared with parts tumbled with other media.

Yet when I tried today to find information online to that effect, I couldn't find any. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
