Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.
welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
Transformer type welding machine
6013 is a mild steel electrode that bridges the span between mild steel and medium steel. It has a lot of the characteristics of the 60s type electrode but with a thicker coating that doesn't spatter as much and can be used with either AC or DC Polarity. 60 equals 60,000 lbs tensile strength, 1 equals all position, 13 states basic coating type and denotes AC plus DC useage. The deposited bead has a thicker slag coating than 6010, 6011, 6012.

TIG welding electrodes do not melt under most applications. Electrode means it carries electrical current. In MIG welding the wire becomes the electrode. In TIG and Gas Welding the filler material is called a rod. Stick welding uses rods called electrodes.

The variable parameters for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) include; current, arc length, electrode type, electrode size, electrode grind angle, shielding gas type, shielding gas flow rate, and travel speed.

Both currents have their ups and downs but both are used in the maufacturing industry, in reality it depends on your base metal and electrode.

You can do Shielded Metal Arc Welding (stick) with an appropriate electrode. If the machine has a high frequency arc stabilizer then you can also TIG (tungsten inert gas) weld aluminum. Wire feed processes require a DC machine
friction welding can be used to join dissimilar metal. Also depending on the metals most arc welding processes and oxy-fuel can used. It's just a matter of using the correct filler material or electrode.
Most tungsten electrodes are usable with aluminum. However, pure (EWP) and zirconiated (EWZr) are recommended. This is because aluminum should be welded with alternating current (AC.) EWP and EWZr are the most easily balled electrodes, meaning at the end of the electrode there should be a hemispherical tip about 1.5 times the diameter of the electrode.
