Technical Features
- AWS E6013 Classification: Meets a defined industry standard, ensuring consistent performance and predictable weld quality across applications.
- 83,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Delivers structurally sound welds suitable for mild steel fabrication work where joint integrity is required.
- AC, DCEN, and DCEP Compatibility: Operates across multiple current types, allowing use with a wide range of welding machines without requiring a dedicated power source.
- 5070 A Operating Range: Narrow amperage window optimized for thin and light gauge materials, reducing the risk of burn-through on sheet metal and duct work.
- Medium/Shallow Penetration Profile: Produces controlled weld depth suited to thinner base metals where excessive penetration would compromise the workpiece.
- Smooth Wetting Action: Flux coating promotes flat, smooth bead profile and steady arc, reducing post-weld cleanup and finishing time.
- 3/32 in. Diameter, 14.6 in. Length: Standard electrode geometry compatible with conventional stick welding electrode holders.
Applications
- All-position welding on mild steel structures and components
- Light gauge metal and sheet metal fabrication
- HVAC duct work assembly and repair
- General-purpose mild steel fabrication where clean bead appearance is a requirement
