DESCRIPTION
The AWS, E-6013 is a general purpose mild steel electrode for use with AC or DC It produces a very stable,
easily handled arc throughout a wide amperage range_ The moderately penetrating and easily directed arc
provides excellent results in all positions (fiat, vertical or overhead) and is ideal for single pass horizontal
fillet welds_ Spatter loss is low, as the weld metal solidifies quickly producing a closely rippled deposit with
good appearance.
Even though it is designed for production welding in mild steel fabrication, this rod is excellent for
multi-purpose use where sound durable welds are required,
The arc is easily started, even at low amperage settings for light gauge steel, yet is stable at the high
amperages needed for higher welding speeds, and for heavier sections.
Use with AC or DC (see recommended amperages) Hold a short arc, just long enough to keep the electrode
from touching the molten metal. In flat position single pass fillets or butt welds may be made with or
without weaving. Weld from bottom up on vertical welding of heavy sections Welding down on light
material or fillets produces excellent results Use 5/32-inch or smaller electrodes for overhead work, making
either stringer or weaving beads.
