E6013 Stick Electrode for Carbon Steel
Hobart 54JK83 E6013 Stick Electrode 1/8in 14in 50lb delivers general-purpose welding on carbon steel using AC, DCEN or DCEP current. The 1/8-inch diameter rods suit flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up positions. The 50-pound package provides enough consumable for extended shop or field work.
AWS E6013 Classification and Mechanical Properties
The electrode meets AWS E6013 classification with a minimum required tensile strength of 60 ksi and a minimum required yield strength of 48 ksi. These figures confirm the rod is rated for standard structural carbon-steel joints rather than high-strength or low-alloy applications.
Easy Strike and Restrike with Standard SMAW
The E6013 coating strikes easily on AC or DC power sources, making it suitable for entry-level and professional machines alike. Moisture absorption can cause porosity, so store rods in a dry container and recondition if they become damp.

Questions about this item
What does the 60 ksi tensile strength mean when I am actually welding with these rods?
The 60 ksi rating is the minimum tensile strength the deposited weld metal must meet, so joints made with these electrodes on carbon steel will carry at least that load per square inch.
The electrodes are classified E6013 — what does that tell me about the current types I can use?
E6013 means the rods run on AC, DCEN and DCEP, so you can use them with virtually any stick welder output without changing polarity.
Will the 14 in length and 1/8 in diameter fit my standard electrode holder?
Yes, 1/8 in diameter is the common size for most holders, and the 14 in length is a standard stick length that feeds easily in any clamp.
