Not sure what you mean by “AC rods” but most rods can be used with a DC inverter type machine and only some can be used with an AC machine, for a DC inverter as long as polarity is correct and OCV is high enough the majority of rods can be used.Can I use AC rods with an inverter successfully, just for general bodgery , not structural or vehicular , just smallish stuff , Cheers

If they are E6013’s then they should be ok, if not then I think you need a new welder!Hi , thanks , it's just that I have been promised 3 free boxes of electrodes and have no idea yet what they are, looking a gift horse in the mouth really , don't want to take them if they can be of more use to someone else, I suspect that they will be 6013s as my friend used to have a garage and sales forecourt,
Thanks
We have to talk about because the situation is not very clearCan I use AC rods with an inverter successfully, just for general bodgery , not structural or vehicular , just smallish stuff , Cheers
