Blue Demon E6013 Mild Steel Covered Electrodes 

 

E6013 is a mild-steel, all position, general purpose cellulose-base rod.  It operates on AC or DC welding current and works well on low voltage AC machines.  E6013 is an excellent choice where there is poor fit-up in the joint.  It deposits easily and smoothly producing medium to shallow penetration.  Small sizes are well adapted to low heat and thin metals.  Medium to heavy slag is easily removed and provides for excellent weld cleaning action during the welding process.

Typical Applications:  general purpose fabrication, metal buildings and structures, machine parts, shaft buildup
