A little something for s410man
Note, the below lists are by no means comprehensive and in terms of electrode positive and negative, and penetrationability of different rods, will vary with manufacturer. Open circuit voltages will vary and many rods won't run on a typical 48v buzz-box. With any rod used, the manufacturers data should be at least glanced at to get an idea of how the rod works in use, and current settings etc. They're all different!
If you want any more info on particular rods, ask.
I'd suggest if anyone wants to add notes, do - there are other rod types and uses, and there are some below you have little chance of using.

6010
Use with DCEP in ALL positions. DEEP penetration. Requires Minimum Prep. Rough with high spattering. Mild steel rod. Use medium arc, whipping or weaving on vertical and overhead positions to control bead sag.
Can be used DCEN
6011
Use with DCEP and AC in ALL positions. DEEP penetration. Requires Minimum Prep. Rough with high spattering. Mild steel rod. Use for stringer beads in overhead fillets, weaving for vertical and horizontal fillets.
6013
Use with DCEP, DCEN and AC in ALL positions. LOW penetration. General use.
7014
Use with DCEP and DCEN in ALL positions. MEDIUM penetration. Smooth, fast and easy to use.
7016 similar to above
7018
Use with DCEP in ALL positions. LOW penetration. This is a low hydrogen rod that is very strong. MUST be kept dry. Store in a heated container. Iron in coating good with AC and allows high current settings. Use highest current practical in range, straightforward progression and short arc, weld puddle very fluid. Rods left out in the air for more than 4 hours will NOT give specified strength. Re-heating them will NOT restore these rods.
7024
Use with DCEP and DCEN for FLAT and HORIZONTAL fillets. This rod is smooth, easy and faster. High speed. Use drag method.
Ni-Cl
Use with DCEP in ALL positions. LOW penetration for use on CAST IRON.
308L
Use with DCEP in ALL positions. LOW penetration for use on STAINLESS.
316ELC16
Stainless, NiCr. For 316L and 317 Stainless Steels. High heat applications. Use with DCEP in ALL positions.
