Super 5 6013 Electrode

The Super 5 E6013 electrode is a high-quality, rutile-coated mild steel welding electrode designed for general-purpose welding in all positions. It is known for its user-friendly characteristics, making it suitable for both novice and experienced welders.   

Key features and benefits include:

  • All-Position Welding: Can be used in flat, horizontal, vertical-up, vertical-down, and overhead positions, offering versatility for various projects.
  • Smooth Arc Performance: Delivers a stable and soft arc, facilitating easy handling and control during welding.   
  • Low Spatter and Smoke: Minimizes spatter and smoke generation, resulting in cleaner work environments and reduced post-weld cleanup.   
  • Easy Slag Removal: Features a slag that detaches effortlessly, often self-lifting, which enhances efficiency and productivity.   
  • Excellent Bead Appearance: Produces smooth and flat weld beads, ensuring aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound welds.   
  • Good Wetting and Shallow Penetration (Smaller Diameters): Ideal for thin sheet metal applications.   
  • Sufficient Penetration (Medium Gauge Steel): Versatile for a range of material thicknesses.
  • Easy Striking and Restriking: Simplifies the welding process.
  • Compatible with AC and DC: Offers flexibility in welding setups.

The E6013 classification indicates:

  • E: Electrode
  • 60: Approximately 60,000 psi tensile strength of the deposited weld metal.
  • 1: Suitable for all welding positions.
  • 3: Rutile-based flux coating, usable with AC or DC power.

The Super 5 E6013 electrode is suitable for welding mild steel in fabrication, repair, fencing, light structural work, and more. It is often considered a good choice for DIY projects as well.
