K-T 6013 is an all position electrode. This electrode has fast freeze characteristics giving it operator appeal where poor conditions may exist. Typical applications include shaft build up, general-purpose fabrication, machine parts, metal buildings and structures. This electrode has a very stable arc and good bead appearance when used with either AC or DC power sources. 62,000 to 79,500 psi tensile strength. Smaller diameter rods may be used on thin metal such as auto bodies, ornamental iron, metal furniture or any mild steel where appearance is important.
