Should be no problem whatsoever. Typically you'd use the same electrodes you'd use for welding A 36 to itself. A 36 is essentially the same as A 709 Gr. 36, so you can look up the tables in AWS D1.5. Another way to look at it is that A 709 Gr. 50 is essentially the same as A 572 Gr. 50, so if you have experience welding A 36 to A 572, it's the same as that.
