6013 is normal arc electrode which is used for light jobs like sheet welding or tank

making but when it comes to heavy construction jobs where strength required

is more 7018(Low Hydrogen) Arc Electrode is used like boilers, heavy structures

etc. Working with 6013 is far easier than 7018, which requires welder's skills.

Neatness in finishing is also more with 6013 than 7018.

What polarity should be used for 7018 rod?

7018 electrodes should be used with DC positive polarity. This means the electrode holder is connected to the positive terminal of the welding machine, resulting in better arc stability and smoother weld deposits.


What is hydrogen rod 7018?

Actually 7018 is a low hydrogen electrode. Some electrodes produce a gas containing hydrogen to protect the molten puddle from oxygen which can destroy the metal. (Oxidization = rust) The 18 series produces very little if any hydrogen. These electrodes must be kept dry as moisture is water (H2O- 2 parts hydrogen one part oxygen).


Can you weld aluminum and corten steel together?

The only time I welded corten I used 7018 electrodes. I was told that elements in the corten mixed with the electrode in the weld giving it rust resistant capabilities.

What is the difference between 7018 and 6010 electrodes?

6010 penetrates deeper than 7018 does. It is a "fast freeze" rod - the puddle solidifies quickly. There's not much slag and it chips off easily. It also requires DC electrode-positive polarity. If you have an AC-only welder like a Lincoln AC-225, get 6011 which is almost the same rod but it will run on either AC or DC. Most guys who use 6010-series rods are welding pipe. Guys who weld bridge decking grab this rod first because of its penetration. 7018 is a rod with low-hydrogen flux. It produces a LOT prettier weld than the 6000-series rods do, but it's got to be stored in a rod oven because moisture in the air changes the way it welds. These are generally used for structural welding. These are two of the most general-purpose rods out there.
