Can I start with a question please? What joint are you doing? I am assuming you are not fishmouthing and I am assuming you are doing a T joining an end to a middle section?
If that is the joint I am assuming you are squishing the end flat a bit so they sit together well.
Assuming that is what you are doing, I am sure you are aware that is the happy place for a 110 v mig with .023 wire? And I am guessing you have a small stick welder and need to accomplish this task with that?
If I was sticking it, as Flusher said, I would use a 7014 which is a fast fill, fast freeze rod.
I would differ in that I would use AC as in my opinion as the wave travels from + to - of nueteral then you recive a small additional benefit of cooling the puddle. (I also think most 7014 is optimised for AC.
I would also go 80 amps or so, lower if your machine will go down further. If I could start about 50 then come up I would. A better more experienced welder will weld hotter then a less experienced welder with more travel speed generally. Start low, and raise as needed.
In the what is possible. My dad repaired soccor goals that had rusted in several places that were made from exhaust tubing on the field one time for a freind of his. We showed up unprepared as we were told they were made from water pipe. (black pipe) When we saw the guy moving them around and they were 2.5" diameter or so we realized there was some miscommunication somewhere.
Dad welded those together with 6011 1/8" about 75 amps, AC. I could not make it work, and he did it beautifully.
