a welding rod
7018 structural 6010 root, 7018 cover for pipe
its 7018 grade rod can use
depends but i would use a 3-32 rod preferably a 7018 hope that helps
3/32 85-100 1/8 110-160 is what I run
Yes, the electrode holder (stinger) is positive and the ground is negative which means you would be welding DC positive.
That depends on the diameter of your rod which depends on the thickness of the material you are welding. An e-7018 1/16" rod start at about 70 amps. A 3/32 rod start about 90 amps. A 1/8 rod start at about 110 amps. These are ball park ranges and you will need to adjust to suit. When the scale from your test beads chips off easily you are exactly where you need to be with the heat.
no 7018 is for carbon steel 9018 for chrome 308 is for stainless
1040.
Using a 6010 welding rod on an AC welding machine can result in less stable arc performance, higher spatter levels, and potential difficulty in controlling the weld pool due to the rod's specific characteristics. It is recommended to use a 6010 welding rod with a DC welding machine for optimal performance.
it dependsif your going virticle down i would set it at about 100 amps but if your going flat or horizontal i would crank it up to about 125 amps
