About E6013 - General Purpose/Mild Steel - Welding
Instructions: Clean the weld zone of contaminants as well as possible. A small AC machine or DC machine (electrode + reverse polarity or – straight polarity) can both be used! AC will prevent arc blow, DC+ reverse polarity produces deeper penetrating welds on medium gauge steels and DC- straight polarity on thinner or light gauge steels. Set amperage to the proper range as listed on the product recommended amperage chart. Maintain a short arc length and hold the electrode at a 15° angle and use a slight back and forth whipping motion. If overhead welding, use a straight circular motion. For vertical-down welding, choose amperage in the upper end of the recommended range and use stringer beads or a slight weaving technique keeping the weld puddle in place by pointing the electrode up into the puddle. For vertical-up welding, use amperage settings in the lower end of the recommended range and use the shelf or step method adding layer on top of layer. Do not use whipping motion. Allow the part to air-cool and remove slag with a chipping hammer and brush to a nice finish.
