This would depend on several variable such as: Welding process being used (SMAW, GMAW, etc). Specific type and grade of the Stainless Steel. The required tensile strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. If you are welding pressure piping, the applicable ASME codes have a table in section IX. AWS D1.6 addresses structural applications. There are three basic types of Stainless Steels. Austenitic, Martensitic, and ferritic. Each has characteristics that differ from each other in the post welded condition. For a good selection of electrodes and their applications, your local welding supplier should have free reference books by various suppliers that will help. These are the same books we us to assist us in developing welding procedures to various codes and standards.
Usually the type of electrode matches the type of stainless being welded.

We were told 309 was the electrode of choice.
dissimilar steel grades and the unknown grade ss can easily welded with the help of 680CGS lnt welding electrode
The answer is "YES". ASME IX allows a welder qualified on base metal P(or S) number 1 to 11 to weld P1 to 11. Please refer to ASME IX QW-423. Hope this helps. Sun.
Yes, higher grade stainless is achieved by cold working a lower grade stainless steel
Yes. There are covered electrodes made for SMAW (stick) welding of SS. I have actually repaired one of my wifes SS cooking pots that had a broken handle with a stick welder.

The SS stands for: Steam Ship
ss tuner is used for calculating the depth of penetration
the Gestapo arrested them and the SS imprisoned them
When used before the name of a ship, S.S. is an abbreviation for steamship.
