Description of Forney 30401 Welding 8 Inch 1 Pound

The product is LB 1/8 6013 Weld Rod. Easy to use. All position welding, general purpose rod for shallow penetration or in poor fit up conditions. Excellent wetting action, yielding smooth and flat beads with steady arc with either AC or DC. Low spatter and excellent slag removal, virtually self cleaning in vertical down fillets. Use on all types of mild steel where ease of operation and good appearance is required in all positions, ideal for vertical down welding. Use for all types of mild steel fabrication.

Do not buy these rods

Unfortunately what I didn't like about these rods is they just completely me useless. I went to Home Depot and bought a Lincoln Electric 6013 and they ran like clockwork.

Pros
  • Use them on all types of mild steel where ease of use and good looks in all positions are required, ideal for vertical down welding
Cons
  • No paint required

Something is wrong, best in welding gear

Not sure if I got a bad batch but the ones I got hold up not the arc. It will arc for a second and then die. I'm not sure if they got wet or if they're really old, but something is wrong. That sucks too, because I really needed her. Well, I hope I can use 7018 instead. Attention buyers, there is a bad batch.

Pros
  • Weld in all positions, general purpose rod for low penetration or poor fit conditions
Cons
  • Type 90
