    Unless you are lucky enough to find a piece that still has the factory
    ink jet markings on it.

    If you buy 316L from a reputable steel service center, it should come
    with a complete set of documentation.

    At least mine does.

    I am willing to attempt almost any task except the following:

    1) Brain surgery
    2) Laying concrete and finishing it.
    3) Welding.

    When I get S/S welding done, including passivating, for less than $40/hr,
    it's not worth screwing around with it.

    There are no problems, only varying degrees of challenging opportunity.
