Well i figure that i will have to break in this section. Ok i need to know what welding rod to use on a 1/4" plate to 1/4" plate all position peferrable. I lost my chart that i had from school and i can't remember.

hmmm, let me check my handy dandy textbook

 

E 6013

 

It should be marked on the struction on the welding machine!! in other words crank the amps and feeds high enough until you burn the steel then you know it's too high setting of the amps or not enough feeds!!

 

i told my friends that this forum would be used! hell yes...

keep up the informative posts, guys... haha :)

 

It is not on the welder. Since it has become unreadable.

Its not a matter of the settings, the rods have differant properties. E 6013 is the best mulitpurpous rod. It is one of the most user friendly rods and would be good for 1/4 inch.

 

Yea i just have lost the sheet over the years and i needed an all position

We are talking SMAW correct?

 

for what he is doing, tow bar, a 6011 or 6012 would be better because of the penetration. you could always to a pass with 6012 then go over that with 6013 to make it look good.

 

Yea SMAW

Ahhh... I didnt know what he was welding on, I agree with what Alon said. Do that.

Well, what are you gonna be welding...I know its 1/4" plate as you mentioned. Are you gonna be bead building or joint welding?
