Connection of structural steel with stainless steel
(OP)
We have a situation where stainless steel member have to be connected to structural steel with welding. Is it possible to weld structural steel with normal steel? Can someone guide and is there any reference for this? Any help is appreciated. This member is actually a glass railing support.

It can still corrode inside the building if part of the stainless steeel is exposed. The corrosion area does not have to be exposed to weather for this to occur.

Welding of carbon steel to stainless steel is relatively common in many of the applications I'm normally involved with.
I'm sure you know this, but if the carbon steel is galvanized I would advise against welding SS to it. I have seen some cracking problems (there are several papers on the subject to give the technical discussion)and would suggest bolting the two together.
