Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the primary uses for AWS E6013 welding electrodes?

A: AWS E6013 is ideal for all-position welding of general carbon steel and zinc-coated steel sheets. It is widely used in vehicles, buildings, machinery, and light-gauge structures where a smooth bead appearance is required.

Q2: What makes the E7018 electrode different from E6013?

A: E7018 is a basic coated, hydrogen-controlled electrode designed for high tensile steel (490 N/mm2 grade). It provides optimized mechanical properties and lower hydrogen potential in the weld metal compared to E6013.

Q3: Can these electrodes be used for thin steel plates?

A: Yes, E6013 is specifically suitable for thin plate small parts and applications like transformer oil tanks and venting tubes where a beautiful weld surface is necessary.

Q4: What are the standard packaging options available?

A: We offer standard packaging of 2.5 kg or 5.0 kg per inner box. These are further packed into 20kg cartons, with each pallet holding 1 metric ton (50 cartons).

Q5: Which welding positions are supported by the E6013 rod?

A: The E6013 electrode is designed for all-position welding, offering stable arc performance and easy slag removal regardless of the orientation.

Q6: What current is recommended for a 3.2mm electrode?

A: For a 3.2mm x 350mm electrode, the recommended current range is typically between 80-130 Amps (AC or DC).
