Features & Applications
E6013 is a mild steel welding rod with rutile type coating. It welds on AC & DC and widely used in ordinary tensile strength mild steel structures. Especially suitable for intermittent welding to sheet steel and small work pieces as well as cosmetic welding with smooth and shiny appearance.
Rutile type E6013 – Grade 4 Coating contains reduction titanium & natural rutile
