Welding Rod Sizes. The length usually ranges between 12 and 18. Coating welding positions current and tensile strength for each arc welding rod.
The ef-fective weld size for flare groove welds when filled flush to the surface of a round bar a 90 bend in a formed sec-. For example the ESAB 6013 electrodes having a 25mm diameter and 350mm length are sold in 5kg packets most commonly. The most common sizes are 116 564 and 332.
It is suitable for vertical down welding and to weld dirty steels.
Mild steel 60000 PSI for mild steels all position deep penetration plus cutting 18 80-130 AMPS. Thus if you need to weld thin metal sheets you should also prefer thin welding rods. It is therefore necessary that we look at each individual. Some other common rod sizes are 20 mm 32 mm and 50 mm.
