Welding dissimilar metals
(OP)
Can anyone tell me if there are any repercussions when welding stainless steel pipe to carbon steel pipe.I assume there exists transition weld electrodes but not sure if this practice can be applied to design of a chemical plant due to the ordering of wrong material.

Yes, I'm interested in your paint system on stainless steel surface and dissimilar welded joints. I do not worry about welding dissimilar materials. However, I worry about protective paint system for corrosion prevention. This is off-topic. Sorry for all.

You can weld stainless steel to carbon steel, if you told us the spec of your SS it will be easy for the forum to give you the correct filler metal.

What is your design temperature?
All members,
This case is socket welding. Should we suggest him for dissimilar welding?
RE: Welding dissimilar metals
The problem related with this kind of weld is the possibility of galvanic corrosion.
