2021 11 13 nbsp 0183 32 Standard 7018 rod is a challenge to use with an AC only buzz box The 7018AC rod works much better but I always end up using significantly higher amps than the same diameter of 6011 or 6013 For 7018 rod especially keep an old file nearby that you can use to rough up the end of the electrode if it has cooled down That makes striking your next arc

Should I use 6013 or 7018 In Brief 6013 VS 7018 Welding Electrodes The most important difference between the two is that the 613 can weld through various contaminants like rust or dirt The 7018 however provides better weld quality and ease of use with the takeaway of only being able to operate on clean surfaces How strong is a 7018 weld 70 000 psi Tensile Strength

Let s take a closer look at the 7018 6013 6011 and 6010 welding rods – four of the most common and fundamental welding rod sizes which you re likely to come across – to try to understand each in more detail A recap on welding rod classification For starters looking at the welding rod classification can already tell you quite a bit about the type of electrode you re

2019 02 23 nbsp 0183 32 The cellulose rods can be soaked in water to remove flux The 6011 welded typically as a fast freeze The 7018 flowed out much nicer easy and smooth Working on getting a smaller torch Victor 315 is a bit big and feels clumsy and some real Victor welding tips the China ones I am using are not very good So don t throw those old soggy 7018 s away use them or

2013 04 15 nbsp 0183 32 6013 is an AC capable rod but if I were to use it DC I d go electrode negative for the extra penetration since 6013 is not a deep penetration rod in AC mode I ve never tried an open root with 13 but I d expect that quot jambing it in there quot should work as long as you have enough amps behind it and or a high arc force setting

I d like to use 6013 because I just know I ll make cleaner welds with it So that said am i taking a risk on strength using 6013 to get nicer welds or is it a non concern in the application This tower is 6x6 3 16 wall tube So it s going have a good 24 of weld on each section

2021 11 07 nbsp 0183 32 You can weave 7018 up to about 2 3x the rod diameter if you need a wider bead otherwise you can run them as a simple drag rod Weaving across your joint will allow you to focus the arc on each side of the joint so as to get better fusion if you have much of a gap On a side note these Jet rods are labeled as being quot AC quot rods

2012 02 19 nbsp 0183 32 I use the 1 8 quot Lincoln brand from Lowes most of the time 7018 rods make a nice bead but you have to use more amps to get it to burn in as good and work much better on cleaner metal I have a welding shop here at my house in the evenings as a 2nd job and use a lot of different rods but the 6011 is a really good all around welding rod Good luck

Why would you use 6013 over either of those Or 7018 other than increased tensile strength For doing basic projects on thicker steel 1 4 quot to 1 2 quot around the house is there one rod i could stick with Would it be advantageous for a hobby welder to learn all the common rods or is it not worth the time and money

2005 09 24 nbsp 0183 32 The 7018 is a good rod but unless you are experienced with it the danger of slag trap inclusion outweighs the advantage of the higher tensile strength Unless you run some pretty smooth beads you will ususually have to grind the joint in order to remove all of the slag pockets The 5P is a good all position rod but is better suited to DC current The 6011 and the 6010 5P

2006 06 13 nbsp 0183 32 A 7018 rod literally should be dragged across the metal when welding Along with dragging a welder can weave it back and forth or oscillate it to feather it in on both sides In vertical welding some welders will count repetitions on each side of the weld pool but this is a really bad habit to get into As my old instructor used to scream into my ear quot Relax your hand

Depends entirely on the thickness of what you re welding If you re welding something akin to sheet metal I d recommend 6013 u 7018 is king knows fuckin everything about that rod and he could tell you which one to get I personally use 087 wall tube for benches and I weld it with either NR211 MP or 3 32 e7018 if I don t have that
