• For general purpose, high speed welding of carbon and low alloy steels
• Easy to use, stable arc, low spatter, excellent restrike capability and a smooth weld bead with fine ripples are all characteristics of this electrode
• Designed to be used for many of the same applications as 6013, but with much greater deposition efficiency as a result of iron powder in the flux and being able to run at higher amperage settings
• Can be used on small AC machines as well as DC units
• Single or multiple-pass applications and in all positions including vertical-down and overhead
• Able to be used like a 6012 for bridging wide root openings from poor fit-up joints
• Used for “tack” or “contact” welding sheet metal or galvanized, rusty or dirty steels, ornamental iron, mobile home frames, automobiles and railcars, structural steel buildings, storage tanks and machine parts
