A recap on welding rod classification.
Welding rod sizes smallest to largest.
Generally speaking using filler metal slightly thinner that what is being welded works best.

Let s take a closer look at the 7018 6013 6011 and 6010 welding rods four of the most common and fundamental welding rod sizes which you re likely to come across to try to understand each in more detail.
Welding rods are of different types with the most common welding rod sizes being the 6010 6011 6012 6013 7014 7024 7018.
Welding rod sizing chart the rod sizes available are 1 8 5 32 and 3 16.
For sheet metal thicknesses 1 8 3 2mm and under rod size should not be thicker than the metal being welded.
Rebar short for reinforcing bar known when massed as reinforcing steel or reinforcement steel is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.

The length usually ranges between 12 and 18.
Concrete is strong under compression but has weak tensile strength rebar significantly increases the tensile strength of the.

Due to high demand you may experience longer than normal response times when calling or emailing.
So here are a few guidelines for choosing the best size filler rod.
Tig welding parametres table.
The thicker the rod the higher your amperage rating has to be.
The third digit represents the position in which you can use the rod.
70 for example implies that the electrode has a tensile strength of 70 000 pounds per square inch.
The first two numbers on the size number of the electrode usually represent the tensile strength of the electrode.
