you need to provide more info. This is a special education endeavour for a welding metallurgist like myself. You will not be able to learn all the intricacies on this platform. Hire a consulting engineer for your specific needs.
 
Yes, I agree with weldstan. It sounds to me like you need to hire a professional.

The devil is in the details; she also wears prada.
 
Agree - How do you Select electrode or filler meatal?

You define your two materials then give it to a metallurgist / materials engineer or welding specialist and let them decide.

Unless you are or want to become one of those people, leave it to them. It is part science, part art IMHO.

If you want to be one of those people then you need more training that we are not in the business of providing. sorry.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
What are your dissimilar metals? S235 to S355 requires another approach than steel to aluminium, just to give two examples that are extremely different.
2 pieces of advice, one a bit more serious than the other:
