: The joint is between two angularly paced placed Carbon Steel Plates and one of them is overlayed with SS.

I am not familiar with the configuration you are talking about, but are the indications appearing anywhere near the stainless to carbon steel interface? Are you using shear waves? If you answered yes to both questions you may want to try using refracted longitudinal wave search units.
