| Description | |
| Description: Mild Steel Welding Electrodes AWS E6013 is a low-carbon steel electrode with a high titaniume coating and can be used on A.C. or D.C. It has excellent welding technological properties. The arc is stable. The spatter is small. The slag viscosity is moderate. It can be used freely. The slag is easy to clean. The welded seam is smooth and fine and easy to restrike the arc. Application: Suitable for welding sheet metal structure made of low-carbon steel, such as ships, vehicles, building, and general machinery. Specifications: 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm Packing: 2.5kg/box or 5kg/box+plastic bag, 20kg/carton, 1000kg/pallet, or as per customers' requirements.

A device that emits, controls or receives electricity. Typically an end point or wire made of metal or some composite material, there are countless electrodes in electrical and electronics products. For example, in a vacuum tube, the cathode emitter is a "negative" electrode. The transparent wires made of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) that cross an LCD screen are electrodes.

The electrode is 1/8" in diameter
The "E" stands for arc welding electrode.
Next will be either a 4 or 5 digit number stamped on the electrode. The first two numbers of a 4 digit number and the first 3 digits of a 5 digit number indicate the minimum tensile strength (in thousands of pounds per square inch) of the weld that the rod will produce, stress relieved. Examples would be as follows:
E60xx would have a tensile strength of 60,000 psi E110XX would be 110,000 psi
The next to last digit indicates the position the electrode can be used in.
The last two digits together, indicate the type of coating on the electrode and the welding current the electrode can be used with. Such as DC straight, (DC -) DC reverse (DC+) or A.C.
I won't describe the type of coatings of the various electrodes, but will give examples of the type current each will work with.
