AUSTARC 13S SUMMARY General Purpose Rutile Type Electrode Versatile/All Positional (Especially Vertical Up) Capabilities Ideal for Down Hand Fillet Welding of Mild Steel Smooth Performance on Low OCV AC Welding Machines IDENTIFICATION Coating - Blue/White Stripe Tip - Plain Imprint - WIA 4313A CLASSIFICATION AS/NZS 4855-B - E43 13A AWS A5.1: E6013 DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION Austarc 13S is the popular “blue and white striped” general purpose electrode for smooth mitre fillet welding applications. 13S has a soft and stable arc and produces flat, uniform fillet welds with ease and a self peeling slag action. Austarc 13S is formulated primarily for fillet welding in all down hand positions. It is ideal for the general purpose and structural welding of sheet and plate steels (galvanised or otherwise) and tubular components, including trailers, duct work, hoppers and storage tanks, etc. OPERATIONAL DATA ELECTRODE SIZE (MM) ELECTRODE LENGTH (MM) WELDING CURRENT RANGE *(A) ARC VOLTAGE RANGE **(V) 2.0 300 40 - 60 19 2.5 300 60 - 85 20 3.2 380 100 - 130 21 4.0 380 140 - 180 22 *Recommended for DC +/- or AC (minimum 45 OCV) operation. **Voltage is determined by arc current and electrode arc length.
