Stainless Steel Weld Strength 1

[steelbeam]

I am designing fillet welds for a moment connection of two HSS tubes made with 316 stainless. I want to use AISC Table 8-4 for the weld group but I am not familiar with weld strengths in stainless
and not sure what electrode to choose from Table 8-3 to arrive at the C1 coefficient. Can anyone who is up on stainless welding point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your help/advice.

AISC's Design Guide 27 would be a good place to start: Link

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
