2017年1月20日 · some rod has more iron powder in flux AND the flux is thicker on rod so it can run at higher amps. there are advantages and disadvantages with it. faster disposition or welding rate and smoother looking welds. some 6013 has some cellulose mixed in and thin flux coating and is more a quick freezing puddle better for sheet metal, gap filling, out ...

2016年3月10日 · 6013 rod normally you use as big a rod as possible and at as high a amperage as possible. look in procedure handbook of welding by lincoln and they recommend 3/16 rod at 200 amps when welding 1/8 or thicker. 99% of problems with 6013 is using too small a rod at too low a amperage and traveling too slow. normally i weld 3/16 or thicker steel ...

6011 is a fast-freeze rod used for dirty (or clean) surfaces and deep penetration. 6011 is a good choice for welding over galvanized. 6013 is a fill-freeze rod used on cleaner surfaces, with medium penetration and good results with poor fitup. Both are all position rods that can be used AC or DC. Regards,

2012年9月27日 · Novice; hobby welding with: Mostly 6013 and some 6011, using 1/16" (ugh), 5/64" and 3/32" rods, On 1/8", 3/16", some occasional 1/4" flat stock, some rebar and 1/4" to 1/2" rod stock. For my light work, no structural stuff, the 6013's seem to work OK. My question is would there be any real advantage to use 7014 rods for any of this stuff?

2022年7月3日 · sure some videos welding 1/4" plate leaning rod 45 degree and dab dab welding 80-90 amps I am thinking why dab dab on thick stuff and why lean rod so much. some welds look rough and others welds like the stack of dimes effect. some videos show welding 16ga tubing to heavy 6mm plate and why lean towards and favor

2016年1月25日 · OP, just try the polarities with the 6013 you have and see which one you prefer. Minnesota explained the differences with polarity, perfectly. That said, I really prefer 6013 on A/C but DC- for really thin stuff when I don't feel like dragging out a mig and messing with shielding gas and the wind. But this is just me and how I like it. YMMV.

2023年4月24日 · The 6013 you'll likely want to store somewhat similarly to the 6011, Hobart recommends storage at 60° to 100°F but below 50% humidity. You can also store it in a holding oven at 100° to 120°F. , you can also recondition 6013 in an oven at 250° to 300°F, for one hour @ temperature.

2013年2月23日 · 6013's are considered a light penetrating rod and probably rated as the #1 rod for being the "weakest" in the "penetration department." It was designed as a sheet metal electrode, if that tells you anything.

2010年5月21日 · 6013 is a very different bird. It is a drag rod (short arc) with heavy slag compared to 6010/6011. Much less penetration with 6013. 6013 has fest freeze characteristics like 6010 and 6011. 6010 is the code rod for root passes on carbon steel pipe and pressure pipe.

2014年9月1日 · I just joined the forum and have a question about AC rod. I am basically a hobby welder and need some input on which rod is best and easiest to run--6011 or 6013. I am retired and collect old garden tractors. I have a Hobart 140 mig I just purchased and love it for light metal but will be doing some heavier metal which I will be using a Lincoln ...
