Nikko Steel - 2.6mm E6013 All Position Mild Steel Welding Electrodes - 5kg Pack 

These 6013 mild steel welding rods are designed to work better than most and we believe they offer excellent value for money. So if you are looking for an easy to lay mild steel rod you have found the right one. Technically these rods are actually 2.6mm diameter but to keep it simple we list it as 2.5mm. Every other manufacturer is 2.5mm and listing 2.6mm on the website complicates it. 

Being "all position" these E6013 RD 460 welding rods will weld overhead, vertical up, vertical down as well of course in the more commonly used down hand or flat welding position. 

The weld protecting slag results in an easy peel after welding (depends on the skill of the welder and how short you have kept the welding arc).

We like these rods and they are a nice rod to weld with, the majority of our customers returning to our trade counter are requesting these RD460 rods when welding standard mild steel. 
For higher strength steels please see our 7016 and 7018 even 7024 rods not forgetting the "80" series like 8016 et cetera where required.  

What Nikko Say: 
The design emphasis of the flux is engineered to produce a fluid but quick freezing slag so facilitating all positional welding. The balanced rutile, cellulosic flux containing both alloying and deoxidizing elements is extruded on to a mild steel wire with a blend of silicates that ensures coating strength and stability. 

The electrode welds with a smooth stable arc on both AC and DC. Spatter is minimal. Weld seams are smooth, bright and evenly rippled. Initial arc strike and re-strike are instant. For flat and vertical down welding use amperages towards the top end and for vertical up and overhead towards the bottom of range. Slag detachability is excellent and metal recovery is up to 80% with respect to weight of core wire.

All positional welding but used to particular advantage for fillet welding of the following and related steel specifications: Mild and medium carbon-manganese steels up to 15 mm thick with a UTS of 500 N/mm2 max. Typical grades : BS 1449 plate and sheet, BS 4360 grades 43A and 43C, Lloyds A & D ship steel BS 4360 grade 50B Lloyds grades AH and DH, BS 3059 and BS 3601 grade 320-410 API 5L A-B and X42.

Recommended amperage: 60-110 amps
