Stick Welding Sheet Metal
36 you are absolutely correct! I weld thin gage metal all the time and my choice of rod is 6013, it has the same tensile strength as 6011 plus it's easy to use and makes a very pretty weld. 6011 can be used on sheet metal but you have to use a fast whip technique, but I don't think I would... -

Homemade welding rod oven
You are very correct, most of us do not do code work. Never-the-less, we all invest money in the rods we buy and want to keep them in good shape until we need them. Also, hydrogen can be a cause of both porosity in the weld bead and even subsurface cracking. Most of the hydrogen is burned out... -

Another welding question
Thanks a lot, Puddles! That is what I thought, but not really knowing I was afraid to do it. That machine cost $3,000.00, and I didn't want to damage it any before I really got the chance to use it. -

Another welding question
Hello fellas, I need some help. I am an amature welder. I learned to weld on an old Lincoln 225 AC welder. Most of the stuff I weld is thin, mild steel so my rod of choice is 6013 (usually 1/8), with which I produce some very pretty welds. However, I recently purchased a new DC welder -- a...
