FAQs
What type of steel can I weld with these electrodes?
These E6013 electrodes are specifically designed for welding mild steel. They are not recommended for use on stainless steel, cast iron, or other alloy steels.
Can I use these electrodes with my AC welder?
Yes, these E6013 electrodes are designed to work with both AC and DC welding power sources.
What is the recommended welding current range?
The recommended welding current range for these Ø4 x 350mm electrodes is between 130A and 190A.
Are these electrodes suitable for all welding positions?
Yes, these electrodes are rated for all-position welding, including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead.
How should I store these welding electrodes?
Store the electrodes in a dry, sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid storing in damp or humid environments.
What does the E6013 designation mean?
E6013 is a classification for arc welding electrodes. It indicates a tensile strength of 60,000 psi, suitable for AC or DC currents, and a coating that allows for all-position welding with a smooth arc and good slag detachability.
What is the length and diameter of these electrodes?
Each electrode in this pack measures Ø4mm in diameter and 350mm in length.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty striking an arc
Ensure the electrode tip is clean and in firm contact with the workpiece. Verify the welding current is within the recommended range (130-190A).
Inconsistent or unstable arc
Check for moisture in the electrodes; try re-baking if necessary. Ensure proper grounding of the workpiece and electrode holder.
