Welding Stainless Steel
(OP)
I have a job where stainless steel plates will be welded to HSS, W shapes, and C shapes.
What electrodes should I be using? My general steel notes say use E70, but I usually never have stainless on the job. What should I put in my general note for weldining stainless to regular?

Can that 309L electrode also be used for welding stainless to stainless? Or is that 308?

One would use 309 to weld SS to Carbon Steel

One other question - I have a general steel note that says W Shapes to be ASTM A992. What should I include for structural stainless? "All stainless steels to be 300 series"?

For smaller depth stainless members the sizes can be hot rolled (usually from India). For larger sizes, they will be plates welded together.
