Keeping things simple, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, whereas stainless steel is essentially an alloy of iron, carbon and chromium or iron, carbon chromium and nickel.

All forms of steel, whether they be ordinary iron and carbon alloy or stainless steel are made from a melt in furnaces. Because of this stainless steel cannot be plated to ordinary steel by chemical means either. 

Stainless steel can be welded to ordinary steel but a TIG welder is required, but this wouldn't suit your purposes.

Hot dipping is unlikely to be an option due to the melting temperatures of ordinary steel and stainless steel. Depending on the type of stainless steel, the temperatures will be similar or higher for stainless steel. This would damage the main item made from ordinary steel.

Thanks for simplifying that, could you now explain the offside rule in simple terms for the Mrs.

Stainless steel can be stick welded to stainless steel' and so does not req tig welding as stated ,you're not a real welder are You ?

Just to clarify : Stainless steel can be welded to Mild Steel using a 29/9 welding consumable (29% Chrome / 9% Nickle), commonly known as a 312 stainless welding consumable (as opposed for example to a 308 or 316 stainless used solely for stainless steel welding).  This can be supplied in either mig / flux cored / tig or stick (Manual Metal Arc) consumable form.
