Magic Welding Rods E6013 & E7018

The E6013 electrode specification includes:

• E: Electrode
• 60: Minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi
• 1: Suitable for all welding positions (flat, vertical, overhead, and horizontal)
• 3: Indicates the flux type and current compatibility

Flux Composition

The 6013 electrode is coated with a rutile-based flux that contains ferromanganese, cellulose, potassium silicate binders, and titanium-rich compounds. These elements produce a smooth and stable arc and facilitate easy slag removal. Potassium compounds in the flux allow the rod to run well on AC and DC currents, even at low open-circuit voltages. 

Mechanical Properties

• Tensile Strength: Approx. 60,000 psi
• Yield Strength: Moderate
• Impact Toughness: Suitable for low-impact general fabrication tasks

Key Features

• Smooth arc performance with medium to shallow penetration
• Minimal spatter
• A stable arc is ideal for beginners
• Easy slag removal, especially on root passes
• Bright, clean backside slag, reducing oxidation risks

These features make the 6013 welder-friendly for multi-pass welds, poor joint fit-up, and positional welding adjustments.

E7018 rod can be used with AC and DCEP (Reverse polarity)- Electrode positive. The electrode coating of E7018 is mixed with Iron-powder to increase the amount of weld deposit compared to E7015, E6013 rods, etc.

 

Applications:

E7018 welding rod can be used in various situations, providing moderate penetration and producing crack resistant welds on metals. 7018 welding rod can efficiently produce high-quality welds on steel and difficult to machine metals, making it an ideal choice for building applications that require sturdy and high-quality welds. Due to the crack resistance of the welds produced by these welding rods, they are also an ideal choice for processing on carbon steel.

 

E7018  tensile strength:

The tensile strength of a material refers to the tensile force required to cause sudden fracture, rupture, or deformation of the material. Welding with 7018 electrodes can produce welds with high tensile strength. The tensile strength of the electrode is represented in the first two digits of the electrode identification number. The minimum tensile strength of the weld produced by the 7018 welding rod is 70000 pounds per square inch.
