Professional Stick Welding Electrodes – Mild Steel Applications A complete range of mild steel stick welding electrodes designed for all-position welding performance, arc stability, and reliable weld quality across maintenance, fabrication, and structural applications. This product includes three electrode types: E6011, E6013, and E7018, each optimized for different welding conditions and performance requirements. General Specifications Welding Process: SMAW (Stick Welding) Material: Mild Stee Length: 14" Weight: 10LB per box Available Diameters: 3/32" (2.4mm), 1/8" (3.2mm), 5/32" (4.0mm) Power Source: AC / DC (varies by electrode type) E6011 – Deep Penetration All-Position Electrode E6011 is a cellulose-based mild steel electrode designed for all-position welding, primarily used with AC power sources. It produces a forceful arc with deep penetration and fast-freezing characteristics, making it ideal for challenging surface conditions. Key Features: Excellent for dirty, rusty, or painted steel Deep penetration with fast-freeze weld pool Suitable for all-position welding Stable arc with low spatter Applications: Maintenance and repair work Galvanized or rusty steel structures Construction and field welding Steel castings and pipelines E6013 – General Purpose Mild Steel Electrode E6013 is a versatile welding rod designed for light to medium-duty fabrication. It performs well on low-voltage AC machines and provides smooth arc operation with easy slag removal. Key Features: Smooth arc and easy operation Low spatter with clean weld appearance Excellent slag removal Ideal for light sheet metal work Applications: Sheet metal and ductwork Light fabrication General mild steel welding Small repair jobs E7018 – Low Hydrogen Structural Electrode E7018 is a low-hydrogen iron powder electrode designed for high-strength structural welding applications. It produces high-quality, X-ray-grade welds with excellent mechanical properties. Key Features: Low hydrogen for crack resistance Smooth, stable arc performance High deposition efficiency Suitable for critical structural welding Applications: Structural steel fabrication Offshore and power plant construction High-strength carbon steel welding Industrial fabrication and repair
