Mild Steel Covered Electrodes - AWS Class E6013

AC-DCEN (Electrode Negative)

Code and Specification Data

AWS A5.1, ASME SFA 5.1 (A-1, F-2)

ABS - AWS A5.1

CWB-CSA W48.1, E41013

It has a wide range of applications for light gauge and heavy plate. High heat and speeds can be used without undercut. Slag easy to clean and on heavy plates is often self-cleaning.

Typical applications include metal fixtures, road equipment, farm machinery, building structures, storage tanks, iron work.

It can be used on thin gauge carbon and galvanized steels. Excellent choice for applications where offsets or fit-up is a problem.
