- EN ISO 2560-A-E 35 0 R
- JIS: D4313
- GB: E4313
Characteristics – applications:
- VD-6013 is the electrode under the group of high rutile sheath. The welded joints are less defective and easy to ignite arc in which arc is stable without splashing and slags are self-blistered. The well-fined welded joints are ductile and have endurance bending strength.
- Suitable for welding low-carbon steel under 430 ~ 490 Mpa load such as rolled-steel structures, ship’s shell, basin, etc.
- Welding at all positions including vertical welding from top to bottom
