Used for the welding of mild steels, galvanized and some low alloy steels
- A versatile, deep penetrating steel electrode with smooth, stable arc characteristics
- The coating produces a forceful, spray-type arc, resulting in deep penetrating welds
- The slag is thin and easily removable
- Class E6013 blue rutile coated electrodes suitable for welding Carbon and C-Mn steels with medium mechanical properties
- Typical Application: Vehicles, ship building and repair, sheet metal, build-up of over machined and worn mild steel surfaces, general light fabrication
- Soft arc therefore suitable for relatively thin plates and bridging wide gaps
- All position electrode including vertical down
- Rutile general purpose
