In MIG welding , a continuously-fed electrode wire melts into the weld, enabling two dissimilar metals to be joined without heating them to their melting points. A filler must be used since the melting points of the two dissimilar metals may be very different. For instance, if one of the metals is overheated to reach the melting point of the other one, stress cracks and microfractures may result.
Welding two dissimilar metals is possible, but a very difficult process with plenty of complications. To boil it down, welding dissimilar metals together is difficult to do right, and often produces inferior results to using metal alloys that are similar or the same.
By taking into account the long-term effects of using different metal alloys in a custom wire form, you can make sure that you get the right basket for the job. If you have a question about stainless steel welding, wire forming issues, or need a custom wire form for a high-precision application with strict tolerance requirements, be sure to contact an experienced mechanical engineer!

He said the welds come out looking a lot better but had no clue if anything bad can come of it. Since the pieces I do weld are under stress, was curious if I should worry if I use Tags: None.

I have also used to weld material and vice versa and see no difference. I hope this helps.
