What does each part of the number E6013 stand for?

E6013 = High titania potassium flux. AC, DCEP, or DCEN for flat, vertical, overhead, and horizontal positions. E7018 = low-hydrogen potassium, iron powder flux. AC or DCEP for flat, vertical, overhead, and horizontal positions.

What do the 4 numbers on a welding rod mean?

The first two digits represent the resulting weld’s minimum tensile strength, measured in pounds per square inch (psi). The fourth digit represents the coating type and the type of welding current (AC, DC or both) that can be used with the electrode.

What do the first 2 digits of a 6013 electrode tell you?

The first two digits of a 4-digit number and the first three digits of a 5-digit number stand for tensile strength. For example, E6010 means 60,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) tensile strength and E10018 means 100,000 psi tensile strength. The next to last digit indicates position.

What is E6013 welding rod used for?

Uses and Applications of 6013 Rod. The E6013 is designed for medium to light penetration welding. It is used for welding carbon steel and is also used for welding any type of polarity. As mentioned above, it is very popular for beginners because it readily provides a stable arc that is fit for welding poor fitting joints.

What is the proper welding rod to use?

The right rod for welding cast iron is a high-nickel rod. Choose a Radnor rod to weld metals with a crystalline core. The right rod to choose for welding brass is a rod with flux coating. Choose Inkontel, a rod made of iron and nickel, when welding cast iron.

What is 6013 means?

The 6013 is a general-purpose welding electrode made of mild steel and can be used in all positions of a welding process. The electrode delivers a smooth and medium penetrating arc.

What is the specification of welding electrode E6013?

specification of welding electrode e6013 Product description Welding Rod E6013 is of low mild steel type electrodes with titanium coating and suitable for both AC and DC. It can weld in all position. Welding mild steel with normal tensile strength particularly suitable for intermittent weldingto sheet and small workpoces.
