Electrode Specification
Westward 20YD13 is a carbon-steel stick electrode classified AWS E6011 for shielded metal welding. It measures 5/32 in diameter by 14 in length and comes in a 50 lb package. The minimum tensile and yield strengths are 60 ksi and 48 ksi respectively.
Suitable Applications
This electrode suits fabricators joining carbon steel to carbon steel in flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down and vertical-up positions. It operates on both AC and DCEP current. Welders needing a different AWS classification, non-carbon-steel alloys or a smaller diameter should select another product.
Critical Parameter
The AWS E6011 classification determines whether this electrode matches the required welding procedure and base-material compatibility. Verify the classification against your welding specification before purchase.

Questions about this item
How often will I need to replace the 5/32 in E6011 electrodes during a large project?
Each electrode is 14 in long and the pack weighs 50 lb; consumption depends on amperage and joint design, so plan replacements by tracking weight used per hour.
What limits continuous welding with these E6011 rods on carbon steel?
The rods are rated for 60 ksi tensile and 48 ksi yield strength; the practical limit is operator duty cycle and the 14 in electrode length before stub change.
How much heat and fume do the 5/32 in E6011 rods produce when running all day?
Stick welding with E6011 on AC or DCEP generates significant heat and fume; California Proposition 65 warnings note cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals in the consumable.
