RE: [MW:24881] E6013 not Applicable for High Thickness material

Hi friends,

 

Generally 6010 which is cellulose type coted electrode for root pass, and for fill & final runs preferred for 6013…

6010 is burning on DC+(reverse polarity), whereas 6013 can burn in AC, DC (+/-)…

This is also one reason 6010 gives good penetration…

 

There is no technical code that 6013 should not be used for higher thickness (say above 20mm) – if anyone is having any code references in this regard please correct me…

 

It becomes a practice to client to say, use "good electrode" than a regular one – "as I am putting more money to purchase a high thick material and it's a complicated work(so only going for high thickness)" – there is no logic behind this….

 

Further this is my personal experience – for 25mm thick I used 6013 with proper WPS –

 

6013 is widely used electrode as a reason of free availability and low in cost, that's so clients are thinking to propose a higher grade than existing…

 

By using 6013 we can develop weld qualities of RT with "NSD" and without any additional efforts and is easy to weld…

 

 

No doubt that 7018 is having its advantages than 6013 – but it's not limited / connected to base material thickness

So, don't get confused that for higher thickness 6013 is not suitable –

Dear KGP,

 

E-6010 cellulose electrodes have an unique feature of high penetration arc jet , which ensure sufficient fusion and penetration during root pass welding.

 

when we train cross country  welders, ask them to note jet sound during the entire course of each electrode which it self confirm correct  penetration.

Dear Amit,

 

Recommending E-7018 for higher thickness structure steel welding is by considering following factors.

 

1, When thickness increase the load bearing capacity of structure increases - so flaw less welding required.

    since 7018 is low hydrogen type we can ensure less hydrogen induced weld defects by maintaining 

    proper electrode baking before welding.

 

2, As per structure code , full penetration butt weld joints required RT/UT, fillet joints need MT/PT.

    here E-7018 is better option than 6013

 

3. For thicker sections , more layer of welding /deposition required. other than 6013 , E-7018  flux having iron in fine       powdered form which will supplement 15-20% additional metal in deposited metal(called high deposition efficiency).This will help for minimum usage of  manpower , filler metal, electric power .

 

4. E-7018  required more welding skill from welder side. So only qualified welder shall be used. All this will assure you good quality welding in the end if you prefer E-7018 electrode.

Dear amit

6013 can be used for higher thickness for structural weld but was D1.1 calls for pre heat for thickness above 20 MM , if you are using low hydrogen coated electrode you can skip this pre heat requirement up to certain thickness.
Also you get higher deposition rate for 7018.
And of course you can get good radiographic quality weld with 6013 also.
So weigh your pros and cons based on application limitations.

Cheers

Dear Expert

 

It has been observed that practically that E6013 electrode generally used for low thickness material i.e less than 20mm thickness however E7018 become mandatory for high thickness on the same material in structural work.
Kindly give your opinion refer to standard.
