That depends on the diameter of your rod which depends on the thickness of the material you are welding. An e-7018 1/16" rod start at about 70 amps. A 3/32 rod start about 90 amps. A 1/8 rod start at about 110 amps. These are ball park ranges and you will need to adjust to suit. When the scale from your test beads chips off easily you are exactly where you need to be with the heat.

Difference between 7018 and 6013 electrodes?

6013 is normal arc electrode which is used for light jobs like sheet welding or tank making but when it comes to heavy construction jobs where strength required is more 7018(Low Hydrogen) Arc Electrode is used like boilers, heavy structures etc. Working with 6013 is far easier than 7018, which requires welder's skills. Neatness in finishing is also more with 6013 than 7018. any further info. on construction : nangalsuri@rediffmail.com Surinder Singh
