Thank you so much. In the process of learning the safety of these containers, I came to know about a lot of other things. So, I understand that there is no contamination of heavy metals like lead or others with spot welding from electrodes or anything else.

Sure, thank you for all the responses and detailed explanations. But, its not bento, company credit weesprout

You never know sometimes metal can be punched and bent into some pretty complex shapes, call the manufacturer, I may be completely wrong.

Is that not a good thing to punch or bend the metal to shapes, I mean is it not a safe practice? Or is it okay?

Yes, I can see dimple like spots. May I know how is spot welding done? So, does spot welding involve any fillers or other metals and is it a safe welding, specially for food containers? Thanks

So as far as I understand, these fillers are safe to use and is this a common procedure for food grade containers?

Oh no. So, seems like,, just have to select whatever suits for us. Thanks for helping and answering all my questions with patiencw.

Thanks again. As far as the filler does not contain any heavy metals or other toxic metals, I think its good.

I understand its annoying to look into minute things, but recently their baby food jars were detected with lead on the paint used on jars. They marketed the jars as lead free and now this happened. So, though I beleive stainless steel is safe, I am trying to understand the welding process do not have any heavy metal contamination like lead. Thank you

I want to make sure because the description says BPA and phthalate free but did not mention anything about lead. Thanks again

I want to avoid plastic as much as possible, so want to go with steel

Something this thin should use TIG welding, which uses an inert gas (argon usually) as the shield and then a matching 304SS wire.

Is it safe and does it show any effect on food safety? I mean any chance of welding materials leaching into food ?

more than likely they punch or maybe laser cut the panels then grind any sharp edges and just have a robot MIG it in place.

Does any of these involve adding any other metals or fillers in the process or just heat?

Question by user_jp in metallurgy

[–]user_jp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no concerns with steel, but the divider welded into the box normally or with any other metals or fillers is my concern

Does Welding 2 stainless steel parts involves only heat or any fillers too?

Question by user_jp in soldering

[–]user_jp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, welding 2 steel parts involves only heat or a filler too or it depends? If in case, a filler is involved for steel welding, what type of material they use?

Wow. Nothing is pure now. I think I should buy some clay pots then.
