Welding folks, these E6013 rods are seriously versatile for all kinds of projects! The 3/32 inch diameter (that's 2.5mm) and 12 inch length make them perfect for small to medium welding jobs on low-carbon steel. They work with both AC and DC currents, so no matter what welder you're using, these rods have you covered. The acidic coating gives you stable arcs with low spatter and easy slag removal - perfect whether you're a beginner learning the ropes or a pro knocking out quality work. They're designed for all-position welding too, so flat, vertical, whatever position you're working in, these rods perform consistently. The shallow penetration is great for thinner materials and less-than-perfect assembly conditions. Each tube comes with 20 rods weighing about 0.75 pounds total. Storage is easy - just keep them in a cool, dry place. If they happen to get damp, a quick bake at 150-170°C for 30-60 minutes will dry them right out. From vehicle repairs to furniture projects to pipe work, these are your go-to welding rods for reliable results every time.
