DESCRIPTION: 6013 is a high titanic coated electrode. This electrode was primarily designed to provide good wetting and shallow penetration for thin sheet metal applications (using smaller diameter electrodes), but with sufficient penetration for welding medium gauge steel. As a result, 6013 is an allpurpose electrode that provides a soft steady arc which is easily regenerated, easy slag control for vertical-down welding, low spatter and a beautiful bead appearance. 6013 electrodes may be used in any position with AC or DC (straight or reverse polarity).
APPROVALS: Meets AWS A5.1 Class E6013.
APPLICATIONS: 6013 electrode is commonly used for automobile bodies, truck frames and bodies, ornamental iron, metal furniture, farm implementations, machinery guards, storage tanks, or wherever appearance is important or desirable.

Description: • Weldcote Metals E6013 is a high titanic coated electrode. • This electrode was primarily designed to provide good wetting and shallow penetration for thin sheet metal applications (using smaller diameter electrodes), but with sufficient penetration for welding medium gauge steel. • As a result, 6013 electrodes may be used in any position with AC or DC (straight or reverse polarity).
Applications: Applications are automobile and truck bodies, automotive frames, ornamental iron, metal furniture, farm implementations, machinery guards, storage tanks or wherever appearance is important or desirable. Procedure: Use a light whipping or weaving motion staying ahead of the puddle. Please note that procedures may vary with a change in position, base metals, filler metals, equipment and other changes.
