Whether welding rod thickness matters depends on the application. In some cases, a thicker welding rod may be necessary to provide adequate support. However, in other cases, a thicker welding rod may not be necessary and could actually be more difficult to work with. It is always best to consult with a welding professional to determine the best welding rod thickness for the specific application.
To weld 1/4" steel, it takes about 85 amps.
7018 rod is an AC or DC rod. It is a low hydrogen rod that is used for welding in all positions. It has a low melting point and is used for welding in all positions.
The four types of welding rods are: 1. Carbon steel welding rods: These are the most common type of welding rod and are used for welding low-carbon steel. 2. Stainless steel welding rods: These are used for welding stainless steel and other high-alloy steels. 3. Aluminum welding rods: These are used for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. 4. Copper welding rods: These are used for welding copper and other non-ferrous metals.

Overall, this information is effective. It could "stuck" to some hard plastic that I was trying to fix with reliability. Sadly, it wasn't as resilient (hard? Tough? As I had anticipated from reading the manufacturer's description (from the Urethane Supply website), it wasn't as resilient to breaking? Stress caused the part I mended to come loose at the original location. Given that the previous item had cracked due to stress at the identical location, it is obvious that this was not a manufacturing defect. I inferred from the product's description that it would be far more durable than the typical polypropylene or polyethylene I had attempted to fix. It sticks to those materials as it is supposed to; even though it snapped at the point of tension, the fiber flex substance did not separate from the host object.

These kind of melt into the circular insert region of my plastic welder. Before moving on to more complicated items, I performed a preliminary test on some cracked laundry baskets to gain experience and mend what needed fixing. seemed to go well, and the weld appeared to be strong. I still need to smooth it out and sand it down. My welder doesn't have a temperature control, thus I did get some brown scorch burn material that would be visible on bright colors. Fortunately, my larger project—resetting tweeters into housings on my car—will go unnoticed because it is concealed under the fascia of the car door. I can turn to 3D printing as a last resort, but I'm hoping there will be a quicker solution.

I have long since learnt how to weld. I had no idea that there were more than just huge and little steel welding rods. I recently purchased a cheap adjustable stick welder to mend a brace on a riding lawnmower. purchased rods 6011, 6013, and 7024. I experimented with the various rods and amps and got to the following conclusions: In contrast to 6013, which left TONS of slag and was VERY easy to strike but required the proper coordination of joining the parts and burning through, 6011 left little to no slag but was very difficult to strike at low amps on thin metal. A larger variant of 6011 was the 7024.The metal I got was just too little to support 6011 welds securely, and 6013 was a frustrating disaster.Then I discovered these more compact 6013 rods on Amazon. Although they can be utilized at a lower amperage, they are the same simple to strike 6013-type. Even at 30 amps, I was still able to use them. Although I wouldn't use it to weld large pieces, they worked well for welding light gauge metals and are excellent for creating artwork.They are the same length as the other rods, but of course have a very small diameter. Due to the lower amount of metal in the middle, you will burn through them more quickly.Highly suggested. Find 6011 in the same diameter now.

These appear to function just as well as any other rod I have bought. I have bought electrodes under the Menards house brand, Lincoln electrodes under the Lowes brand, and various other off-name brands that I could get nearby. These appear to function just as well as any other products I have used. Better welds result from their constant connection or lack of loss of the ark. I have even experienced things melting to the point that I could almost weld without them arcing.These performed great to weld some stainless steel to some 1/4 steel. I had previously tried to do this but had trouble because I wasn't sure which rods I was using. However, they seem to work okay after the amps are set properly.

works incredibly well for the purpose. I used this to patch a puncture hole in an old aluminum bicycle frame, but at first I had trouble getting the product to melt because I was using a smaller flame. I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a larger handheld blow torch. I quickly got to work using ordinary green tank propane. As long as you don't let it run and don't heat the stick directly, working with the sticks is quite simple. Although I have some familiarity with brazing and aluminum welding from my time spent working in a steel yard, this device was incredibly simple for a novice to use. I quickly started after watching a few YouTube videos. By employing a circular approach, I was able to bridge a hole that was over an inch in diameter, and I sufficiently built up the product to be able to grind and sand it smooth later. All I had to do was be careful not to overheat the previously laid down product as I was building it up, or else it would run or drip. Heating the space around your work and the torch's size were both crucial. Unless you took the paint off and noticed the differences in the hues of the aluminum, you would have never known there was once a significant puncture hole in the frame of my bicycle. Highly recommended for minor repairs; it prevented me from visiting a bike shop or aluminum welder.

Used a handful of them as soon as they arrived, and even in a vintage 1983 Miller welder, they seem to weld excellently. It seemed only logical to try Forney after experimenting with several different brands. If I decide to go with anything else or determine which is better, I'll modify this later. As of right now, these appear to be on par with the Lincoln Electrics that I often use while costing a little less.
