Description:

DuraMax DM6013 is a light medium coated rutile type general purpose electrode which is characterized by smooth and stable arc, low spatter, easy slag detachability,
fine rippled bead appearance, weld deposit possesses good chemical and mechanical properties.

Typical Application & Usage:
  •  Suitable for tank & vessels
  • General fabrication.
  • Vehicles.
  • Railway wagons and machinery.
  • Ship building construction, light structural steel works
  • Storage tanks etc.
RE-DRY CONDITIONS: Re-Dry the electrode at 120°C for 30-60 minutes, for best results.
Deposited All Weld Metal Properties % (Typical) As Welded
Tensile Strength 450 – 540 MPa
Yield Strength 350 – 450 MPa
Elongation in 2″ 22 – 30%
CVN Impacts (J) @ 0°C 50 – 80 J
Recommended Welding Parameters
Diameter Amperage
3/32″     50 – 80
1/8″     80 – 120
5/32″   130 – 170

POLARITY: DCEN or AC
DCEN: DC, Electrode Negative (straight polarity) has the least weld penetration
AC: medium weld penetration (can be more spatter)
WELDING POSITIONS: Flat, Horizontal, Overhead, Vertical-up and Vertical-down positions
USE LESS AMPS ON THIN METAL; MORE AMPS ON THICK METALS
