PHiLARC - The No. 1 Choice of Welders

PA-6013

AWS Specification: AWS A5.1 E6013

JIS Specification: Z3211 D4313

Other Specification: DIN 1913 E-4332

 

I. APPLICATIONS:

Mild steel fabrications, steel windows and iron grills and fences, container steel, welding of ungalvanized pipes, steel structures for houses, steel chairs and tables, steel ladders and other light gauge mild steels and others.

II. DESCRIPTIONS:

PA-6013 is the most easy to use and truly all-positional (including vertical down) general purpose rutile coated welding electrode which has the following special features:

  • Few smoke and colorless fume

  • Few and fine spatterings

  • Steady and smooth arc

  • Self removing slag and reduces cleaning time

  • Strong and high quality weld metal properties

 

III. NOTES ON USAGE:

  • Pay attention not to exceed the range of proper currents. Welding with excessive current not only lowers X-ray soundness, but also causes increase of spatter, under-cut and insufficient slag covering.

  • Dry the electrodes at 70-100°C for 30-60 minutes before use. Excessive moisture absorption lowers usability and may result in some porosities.

  • Excessive drying before use causes less in penetration and overheating of the electrode.

Typical data and Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and other properties were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
