The
AWS;
E:6013
is a generaLpurpoSe
mild steel:elec:trode
for use with AC or DC. tt produces
a very stable,
easily
handled
arc throughout
a wide
amperage
range,: The moderately
penetrating
and easily
directed
arc
provides
eXCellent-results
i_: allposi_ions_(flat_:vertical
or ioverhead)
and is ideal for
single
pass horizontal
fillet
welds,
s_atter
loss is 10w, asthe
weld
metal Solidifies
quickly
producing
a c!ose]v
rippled
deposit
with
good
appearance.
Even
though
it:: is designed
for
production
welding
in mild
steel
fabrication,
this
rod
is excellent
for
muiti-pu[pose
usewhere
sound durabie
Welds are required.
The
arc is easily
started,
even at:low
amperage
settings
for light
gauge
steel,
yet
_s stable
at the htgh
amperages
needed
for higher
welding
speeds, and for heavier
sections.
Use with
AC or DC (see recommencted
amperages).
Hold
a short
arc, just long enough
[o keep the electrode
from
touching
the molten,
metal.
In fiat
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 hght
material
or fillets
produces
excellent
results.
Use 5/32-inch
or smaller
electrodes
for overhead
work,
making
either
stringer
or weaving
beads.
