60 represents the 60000 psi tensile strength; just need to add three zero.
The third number represents the welding position; number 1 represents all positions.
The last number represents the type of arc; 3 represents medium to shallow penetration ac/dcrp.
Consumable electrode welding contain the processes where the electrode acts as the filler material and the electrode that generates the arc. Because the electrode is also the filler material, the electrode 'burns' or is consumed, hence consumable electrode.
It stands for electrode. As opposed to R ( rod) for gas welding or TIG welding. If it carries electrical current it is an electrode.

what is normal welding electrode and how it welds
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.
It the same as 6013
6013 reffers to welding electrode specification. 1 st two digit stands for load / stress carrying capacity . next digit stands for welding position. and last one for welding rod ,flux material composition.
The difference between E6013 and 6013 primarily lies in the designation system used. E6013 is an electrode classification that indicates the type of welding rod, where "E" stands for electrode, "60" signifies a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi, and "1" denotes that it can be used in all positions. In contrast, 6013 refers specifically to the filler metal without the electrode classification prefix, but it typically conveys the same properties when discussing welding rods. Essentially, E6013 and 6013 refer to the same type of welding electrode.
AWS E6013 is a type of welding electrode specified by the American Welding Society (AWS) for use in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). It is designed for welding mild steel and is known for its versatility, ease of use, and ability to produce a smooth, clean weld. The "E" in E6013 indicates that it is an electrode, while the "6013" designates its tensile strength and welding position capabilities. This electrode can be used in various positions, making it a popular choice for many welding applications.
Consumable electrode welding contain the processes where the electrode acts as the filler material and the electrode that generates the arc. Because the electrode is also the filler material, the electrode 'burns' or is consumed, hence consumable electrode.
I believe you are confused. The number reading on the top of the welding electrode is simply an indication of the characteristics of that welding rod. Ex. 6013 means 60 thousands pounds of tensile strength per square inch,1 indicates that is an all position rod, and 3 is the mineral compound of the rod. Hints 6013. The welding rod size is indicated in fractions of an inch. Ex. 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32 etc... Hope this has been helpful to you. Refer to the American Welding Society for further information.
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
E - Stands for Electrode 60 - 60,000 tensile strength. 1 - in all position welding can be done 0 - cellulose
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, commonly called Stick welding. A shielded electrode passes a current between itself and the workpiece. Both the base-metal and the electrode are melted by the current and the electrode is consumed and deposited into the melted puddle forming the weldment.
1 stands for all positions.
