Aluminized pipe is another way of saying "galvanized" I believe, at least it looks just like it. A stick welder would be too much (I think?), mig is what's normal. You need to take a grinder to the coating where you plan on welding, get it down to bare steel, then hit it was some cold-galvanize spray or something after you're done.
