After a few dozen passes I am finally able to consistently run a bead in the 1,2,&3 F positions , I was lazy and did not work on overhead today.
Any tips on running 6013 would be great !
HAPPY WELDING !!!

More 6013 practice .
On my Dynesty 200DX the 3/32 6013 seems to run well around 85 amps with a dig setting around 45. I am using plate to practice with (3/8" roughly).

ive been told to kinda flicker out of the puddle a little and let the fast freeze do its magic, but i found buttering it works better. are you doing an open root or?
ReplyDeleteThe 6013 is not a fast freeze type electrode such as 6010 or 6011, it runs like 7018 just more amp fickle so , no stepping just a straight stringer or slight variation of.
ReplyDeleteI am not doing open root rather I am welding in a fillet and grove on plate, with no taper just a t joint type set up to get the most surface area to practice on.
Many places that i read about the 6013 on said it is good for auto body or any application where appearance and low penetration is important as it is classified as a "low penetration electrode."
ooooooohhhhh, i see ill have to try some out then.
