Stick welding, otherwise known as shielded arc-welding (SMAW), is a technique that can be employed to weld stainless pipe. It requires a few special considerations, however, compared with welding carbon steel. Stainless steel has a higher heat sensitivity and is therefore more difficult for stick electrodes to weld. Here's a guide on how to stick-weld stainless steel pipes:
