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.
What else can I help you with?
What is 6013 means?
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.
What is welding electrode en 2560?
It the same as 6013
How many 6013 rod in 1 kg?
The number of 6013 welding rods in 1 kg depends on the length and diameter of the rods. Typically, a standard 6013 rod is 3.2 mm in diameter and about 350 mm long, weighing approximately 0.4 kg each. Therefore, you can expect to have around 2 to 2.5 rods per kilogram, depending on specific dimensions and manufacturing variations.
What is the best amp to use when arc welding with a 6013 rod?
depending on the thickness of steel you have to change your amperage.... i like to work with 120 or higher with 1"1/2 angle iron The thump rule for any welding rod current selection is as follows: Current = Core wire Dia of the Electrode X 40 Example (4mm X 40 = 160 Amps ) Current shall be lowered & increased based on the welding position & Job thickness etc and also depends on the welder skill & job nature +/- 10 to 20% on the above.
What would happen if you use a 6010 welding rod on an AC welding machine?
6010 is intended for DC welding. It has no additives in the covering to keep the arc going each time the AC voltage reverses, so it is very hard to keep the arc struck. The result is usually poor quality welds. The solution is to switch to a rod designed for AC, such as 6013.

How many welding rod consume on 36 dia inch pipe?
Depends on the thickness of the pipe wall- there will normally be several layers of weld. A 36 inch pipe may require between 4.8 and 6.6 POUNDS of rod, allowing for a stub of rod that cannot be used. Lincoln Welding has a handy guide to pipeline welding you can read on line.
What is the outer coating on a welding rod?
The flux is the outer coating on a welding rod. The flux is a very important part of the welding rod.

6013 can be used on AC or DC plus?
The 6013 Rod can be used on either ac or dc arc welders, at around 90-120 amps depending on your settingsTucson Direct
What does 7016 stand for on a welding rod?
for steel structure building can i use: -size 2.5mm of 7016 welding rod as a filler for welding IPE240 to plates -size 2.5mm of 7016 welding rod as 2nd pass
What Rods should i use with an ac welder?
For an AC welder, it is best to use electrodes specifically designed for AC current, such as 6011 or 6013 electrodes. These rods provide good arc stability and smooth welding characteristics when used with an AC welder. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for electrode selection based on the thickness and type of metal you are welding.
