Welding consumables for mild steel, promising dependable all-position performance. For workshops and farm maintenance seeking cleaner welds, MKGT E6013 Welding Rods help reduce spatter and speed up finishing. Are these rods the right match for regular assembly, seam and repair tasks?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Weld Quality: Stable arc for consistent beads, protective flux coating helps reduce spatter
- • Best for: Assembly, stapling, seam and repair welding on mild steel, and agricultural maintenance
- • Not ideal for: Welding stainless steel, aluminium, or other non-mild steel alloys
E6013 electrodes are designed for arc welding in all positions with a flux coating for reliable performance. Multiple diameter options suit a range of repair and fabrication jobs.
Cleaner, low-spatter welds - thanks to protective flux coating
Flux coating surrounds the steel core and stabilises the arc during welding, while shielding the molten metal. The coating composition helps produce a calmer arc and fewer spatter particles.
Less post-weld cleaning makes finishing and grinding faster, ideal for routine repairs and seams that need neat beads.
All-position welding capability - with E6013 electrode design
E6013 classification and the electrode coating are suited to vertical, horizontal and overhead welding by promoting a steady arc. Consistent steel core dimensions support predictable performance across positions.
Complete joints in awkward locations without changing consumables, useful on-site and around the farm when access is limited.
Flexible sizing for varied jobs - with multiple diameter options
Available sizes include 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm and 4.0mm, letting welders match rod diameter to sheet thickness and joint type. Diameter choice alters deposition rate and heat input.
Select the appropriate rod for light fabrication or heavier repair work, improving control and reducing the risk of burn-through or weak joints.
