A method of stud welding stainless steel studs to carbon steel or low alloy steel components with formation of a ductile weld therebetween. The chromium equivalent and nickel equivalent of the steel component is determined and a stainless steel stud provided that has a chromium equivalent and nickel equivalent content which, upon dilution thereof by steel of the component during stud welding, will provide a structure of austenite plus ferrite in the resulting weld structure, and stud welding the specified stainless steel stud to the steel component.
