1/8 In. D X 14.6 In. L E6013 Mild Steel Welding Electrodes 83000 Psi 5 Lb 1 Pk

Forney E6013 welding electrodes are general-purpose, all-position mild steel rods designed for use on light gauge metal, sheet metal, duct work, and all types of mild steel. The E6013 classification provides medium to shallow penetration with reliable arc characteristics, making these rods suitable for applications where ease of operation and good appearance are required.

Medium to heavy slag is easily removed after welding, reducing post-weld cleanup time. E6013 electrodes are excellent for poorly fitted joints where other rods may not perform as well. The smaller 1/8-inch diameter works well at low heat on thin metals, and these rods perform with recommended polarity of AC, DCEP, or DCEN.

Features and Benefits

• All-Position Performance: Suitable for flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welding positions.
• Easy Slag Removal: Medium to heavy slag lifts away easily after welding, reducing cleanup time.
• Stable Arc: Produces uniform bead appearance for consistent weld quality.
• Excellent for Poorly Fitted Joints: Designed to handle poorly fitted joint conditions effectively.
• Suitable for Thin Metals: The 1/8-inch diameter allows welding at 50–70 amperes on thin materials.
