Catalytic convertor case material

What is the case made of on a catalytic convertor on a gasser, specifically a 2012 Subaru? Stainless perhaps?

Wondering if I can weld this back up. I don't want to replace this entire header crossover cat combo.

You can see how little of the case is holding this together.Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.

I’d assume it’s stainless.

I would too. But before I go buy some SS TIG rod, I would like to know for sure.

Even if it's not stainless, welding it with a 308L should work.

I've done a lot with catalysts professionally. I could all but guarantee it is a 300 series stainless. From an OEM side, we typically use 309L for the filler rod.

If it has a stainless substrate, then the mantle is definitely stainless.
If it has a ceramic substrate, then the mantle is extremely likely to be stainless.
