Hi Guys
I'm trying to do a 6mm T fillet test piece at college using the supplied 6013 3.2 mm rods. I'm getting little or no penetration even running at the max amps for the rods (140A). I've prepped the joint so there's no gap. The weld profile is spot on and the weld looks lovely but no real penetration. I'm no great MMA welder - but some of the lads who are are also struggling.
I tried a WB alloys WB2024E E6013 rod which is general purpose and the results were much better, but we only had a couple of 2.5's.
Can anyone let me know where I could get some of these from, or recommend a really good 6013 rod - don't mind spending a few quid (of the companys money !) to get a decent result.
Thanks in advance !
