30401 E6013 Welding Rod, 1/8-inch, 1-pound

The Forney 30401 E6013 welding rod is a general-purpose, all-position mild steel electrode designed for a wide range of welding applications. This 1/8-inch diameter rod excels on light gauge metal, sheet metal, and ductwork, making it ideal for projects where ease of operation and good appearance are priorities. The medium to shallow penetration and easily removable slag make it particularly effective for poorly fitted joints and situations where minimal heat input is needed on thin materials.

With a tensile strength of 83,000 psi, this 1 lb. rod delivers strong, reliable welds on all types of mild steel. The E6013 classification indicates its versatility across AC and DC polarity (DCEP and DCEN), giving you flexibility in your welding setup. Medium to heavy slag is easily removed, reducing cleanup effort.
