1/8″ 6013 ALL PURPOSE WELDING ROD, 5LBS
Bobco's 1/8" 6013 All-Purpose Welding Rod is an AWS-certified electrode engineered for exceptional performance in general fabrication and MRO applications. Its stable arc, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal make it a top choice for welders of all skill levels working with mild steel.
- E6013
- 60,000 PSI
- All-Position, Mild Steel
The 1/8" E6013 electrode features a high titania potassium flux coating over a mild steel core wire. This composition is designed to produce a soft, stable arc with minimal spatter on both AC and DC polarities (straight or reverse). The resulting weld deposit offers a smooth bead appearance and excellent mechanical properties, including a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi. The flux provides robust shielding to protect the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination, ensuring sound, high-quality welds on clean or moderately rusty mild steel surfaces.
Known as an all-purpose or 'sheet metal' rod, the 6013 is ideal for welding thin to medium-gauge mild steel. Its light penetration characteristic makes it perfect for joining steel plates, ornamental ironwork, farm equipment repairs, and general shop fabrication. This electrode excels in all positions, including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead, making it a highly versatile consumable for both professional fabricators and maintenance technicians in the Los Angeles area. It is particularly effective for short, intermittent, and tack welds.

Target Users
This product is essential for professional welders, metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, construction workers, and hobbyists who require a reliable, easy-to-use electrode for projects involving mild steel.
Finish Options
This is a welding consumable with a specific flux coating designed for the welding process. The resulting weld bead can be cleaned and prepared for painting, powder coating, or galvanizing as required by the project specifications.
How to Measure
Welding rods are specified by their AWS classification (e.g., E6013) and diameter. The diameter, such as 1/8", determines the amperage range and is selected based on the thickness of the metal being welded. Rods are typically sold by weight.
Example: For 1/4" thick mild steel, order '1/8" 6013 Welding Rod, 5 lb pack'.
