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 xhroughout a w_de amperage range. The moderately penetrating and easdy d_rected arc
provides excellent results in all positions (flat, vertical or overhead) and is =deal for single pass hor_,,ontal
fillet welds. Spatter loss is low, as the weld metal solid=hes qu=cklv producing aclosely r_ppled deposit with
good appearance.
Even though it is designed for production welding in mild steel fabrication, th_s rod =s excellent for
multi-purpose use where sound durable welds are requ=rod.
The arc is easdy started, even at low amperage settings for hght gauge steel, yet is stable at the high
amperages needed for higher welding speeds, and for heavrer sections
Use w_th AC or DC (see recommended amperages) Hold a short are, lust tong enough to keep "_heelectrode
from touch=rig the molter metal. ]re flat posit=on single pass fdlets or butt welds may be made w_th or
w_thout 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, mal<lng
e_ther stringer or weawng beads.
