Welding Acid-proof stainless steel ?

[Bucket on wheels]

I've been asked to make a generator frame to sit below deck in this Viking ship they want it made out of Acid-proof stainless steel 70X70 mm angle with 7 mm thickness

what kind of welder would be be the best for this job ?

tig, mig, mma.
I'm most comfortable using the two First once.
They will supplie the equipment and ask what I prefer to use.

Flux cored stainless MIG, make sure it's 316LP wire as no doubt there will be positional welding. If you have the option get a welder that has the cr-ni program and use weldapp2 gas. Welds a dream and quick

At the risk of proving my ignorence (I've only welded stainless with stick), do you need a shield gas with a flux cored wire?

Yep , Will probably be £350/£400 for the roll of wire but the time saving and look of the job will more than pay for it IMHO

TIG for me with 316 filler rod

Too slow for the heavier section, for me it'd be FCAw, then MIG, then MMA and Tig last. Who has the time nowadays

box of rods'd be the cheapest option

If the welding is being done in situ they might have some swimming to do
