AWS E6013 (E4313*)

Description

Fast freeze characteristics make this the perfect choice for welding applications that have poor fit-up conditions. Produces a very stable arc with good weld bead appearance. Excellent choice for sheet metal welding.

Applications

Welding Positions:

Single or multiple pass, AC, DCEN, DCEP, All Position

• General fabrication

• Machine parts

• Metal buildings

• Shaft build-up

Category

Mild Steel Electrodes

Industries

General purpose fabrication, machine parts, metal buildings and structures, shaft build-up.

FEATURES

●Excellent arc stability
●Fast-freeze
●All position
●Slag removes easily

BENEFITS

●Welding accuracy and efficiency
●Excellent for poor fit-up
●Welds in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions
●Quick clean-up

TYPE OF CURRENT

AC, Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), or Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN)

ARC LENGTH

Average length (1/8” to 1/4”)

STORAGE

 60° to 100°F, (20° to 40°C) and below 50% relative humidity or holding oven @ 100° to 120°F (38° to 49°C)

• Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be critical depending on the type and thickness of steel being welded.

CONFORMANCES AND APPROVALS

• AWS A5.1, E6013
• ASME SFA 5.1, F-2, A-1
• ABS, E6013
• CWB, E4313

RECONDITIONING

250° to 300°F, (121° to 149°C) for one hour @ temperature

FLAT

VERTICAL-UP

VERTICAL-DOWN

OVERHEAD

Angle electrodes 10-15° from 90° with higher heat than E6011 electrodes

Reduce amperage from flat position

 Use higher amperage and faster travel, staying ahead of puddle

Use slight whipping motion; multi-pass for build-up
