3/32″ 6013 ALL PURPOSE WELDING ROD, 5LBS
The 3/32" 6013 is a versatile, all-purpose welding electrode designed for reliable performance on mild steel. Engineered for a smooth, stable arc and minimal spatter, it simplifies fabrication and repair tasks, producing strong, clean welds with easily removable slag.
- AWS A5.1 E6013
- 3/32 inch
- 60,000 psi Minimum
- General Purpose Mild Steel Welding
This 6013 welding rod is a high-quality mild steel electrode featuring a rutile-based flux coating. This composition ensures a stable arc on both AC and DC power sources, making it a highly forgiving and easy-to-use option for welders of all skill levels. It is an all-position electrode, ideal for producing smooth weld beads with excellent appearance and very low spatter. The slag coverage is complete and detaches easily, minimizing post-weld cleaning time and improving productivity on fabrication and MRO projects in the Los Angeles area.
Engineered for versatility, the 6013 electrode is the go-to choice for a wide range of light to medium-duty applications. It performs exceptionally well on sheet metal, ornamental iron, and general structural fabrication where appearance is important. Its ability to weld effectively on dirty, rusty, or painted surfaces makes it invaluable for maintenance and repair (MRO) tasks on farm equipment, machinery, and automotive components. These industrial-grade welding rods provide reliable penetration and consistent results for any commercial or personal project.

Target Users
This product is essential for fabricators, maintenance technicians, construction workers, and hobbyists. It is the standard choice for general-purpose stick welding (SMAW) in machine shops, job sites, and garages throughout the Los Angeles industrial sector.
Finish Options
As a consumable welding electrode, the standard finish is its engineered rutile flux coating. This coating is critical for performance, providing arc stabilization and shielding the molten weld puddle from atmospheric contamination to ensure a high-quality, strong weld deposit.
How to Measure
Welding rods are specified by their AWS classification and diameter. The diameter (e.g., 3/32") should be selected based on the thickness of the material being welded—thinner rods for thinner metal. The classification (e.g., E6013) defines the rod's performance characteristics.
Example: To order this product, specify "3/32 inch E6013 Welding Rod, 5 lb Package."
