WELDarc GP - A GWS New Zealand Design

Working directly with overseas manufacturers, GWS has Fine Tuned this general purpose electrode specifically for New Zealand conditions. Its unique chemical composition and "Blue Flux Coating" provide optimum performance across all mild steel welding applications refining Arc performance of proven, past electrodes.

E6013 is a general purpose electrode with excellent welding properties in all positions, including vertical down. Suitable for joint welding and repair welding on mild steel in all applications of the metal-working industry. This electrode is characterised by good bridge-ability, easy ignition and re ignition and low spatter. The result is a smooth, finely rippled seam surface and easy slag removal, even on slightly rusty, primed, galvanised base materials and wrought iron.
