    Based on those transfer rates, making steel pans with copper drop tubes is not a totally terrible idea. You could do either 16 or 18gauge on the carbon steel. If copper weren't so astronomically expensive I would make pans out it in a heartbeat. Soldering them up is way easier than tig welding stainless.
