1/8″ 6013 ALL PURPOSE WELDING ROD, 10LBS
Our 1/8" 6013 All-Purpose Welding Rod is a versatile, AWS-certified electrode designed for excellent performance on mild steel. It's an ideal choice for general fabrication, maintenance, and repair work, delivering a smooth, stable arc and an easily removable slag for clean, professional welds.
- AWS/ASME Certified Electrode
- 6013 All-Purpose (Rutile Flux)
- Mild Steel Fabrication & MRO
- All-Position, AC/DC Current
The 6013 welding electrode is a high-quality, rutile-based flux coated rod engineered for all-position welding (excluding vertical down). This composition ensures a soft, stable arc with minimal spatter, making it exceptionally user-friendly for both novice and experienced welders. It operates effectively on both AC and DC (straight or reverse polarity) power sources. The flux provides excellent arc starting and restriking capabilities, while the resulting slag is self-peeling or easily removed, reducing post-weld cleanup time and improving overall project efficiency.
Primarily used for welding low-carbon and mild steels, the 1/8" 6013 rod is a staple in fabrication shops, construction sites, and MRO departments across Los Angeles. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including sheet metal work, general repairs on machinery and equipment, building steel frames, and creating ornamental ironwork. The smooth weld bead appearance also makes it a preferred choice for jobs where aesthetics are important, such as finishing fences and gates.
