Magnetized pipe

Probably drill stem. Try welding toward your ground or wrap the ground cable around it a few times. If you're using an AC machine it won't matter cause you won't get arc blow. That's about the only time AC has an advantage. You could also use smaller rods.
 
Agree about winding the ground around the pipe a few times. Sometimes it helps to wind it clockwise or counter clockwise. Sometimes more winds, sometimes fewer. Play with it as every pipe is different.
Drill pipe gets magnetized pretty bad sometimes.
Never had a chance to try AC though.
All we had were Lincoln Pipeliners - all DC.
