Okay gents, like many of you Ive welded (if you use that term freely lol) for around 40 years and got things stuck together n never had any real problems buttttttttttttt I welded my fat lil fanny off a bunch the last few weeks extending a car dolly so my Golf Cart fits in front n the car tows behind. I bet like many of you I have an all american apple pie Lincoln 230 AC Buzz Box I bought nearly 40 years ago (still works fine, cant count how many Ive seen sold at auctions) ) and Ive used 6011 or 6013 rods mostly. I was under ther impression one was for old rusty metal and the other more for good clean fresh stuff (who has that anyway lol).
Soooooo heres my observation n question...... Seems like 6013 leaves a nicer lookin smooth bead once you chip the slag off butttttttt it dont seem to penetrate like 6011 does although it dont leave as nice of a lookin bead......... Im almost ready to just use 6011 cuz the 6013 seems to just surface weld and even with more heat doesnt burn deep down like 6011
Seems like years ago I tried some kind of low hydrogen 7018 but Im not sure if thats really for an AC buzz box
Sooooo educate me, talk to me n tell me what to use. Most what little I do is mild steel 1/8 to 1/2 max n not usually good clean fresh stuff, but wow that 6013 looks prettier lol Once we get this down yall can tell me how to use my cutting torch to cut thin sheet metal without it closing back up, I can cut haevier stuff but that thin stuff just flows n welds back grrrrrrrrrr Then you can tell me what Oxy and LP pressures to use on my LP No 2 I believe cutting tip.........
