I tried some 6013 today.

Wow.  After I ran the second rod, I looked and the slag just curled up and came off in one piece.  It looks a lot better than the 6011 did.1/8 6013 90 amps DCEPLast edited by JeremyFerg; 01-28-2008 at 10:29 PM.
Reply:Looks good.  Funny to hear people say the tried 6013 one day and have welds that look like yours.  It took me, literally, a couple of years to consitently get a good weld with 6013.  Now it is my rod of preference and I stick weld most of my project.

Reply:slag curling off in one piece is a good sign that you have a decent weave, amperage, and speed the rest is fine tuning looks goodalthough don't expect many other rods to have slag curl off in one piece
