WeldSkill GP (E6013) Welding Electrodes

WeldSkill GP (E6013) Welding Electrodes are versatile, general purpose mild steel stick electrodes designed for smooth performance and high operator appeal. Classified as E6013, these electrodes are ideal for workshop, maintenance and structural welding applications where ease of use and consistent results are essential.

WeldSkill GP electrodes operate on both AC (minimum 45 OCV) and DC current, providing flexibility across a wide range of welding machines. Their quiet, smooth arc action and low spatter levels make them particularly suitable for beginners and experienced welders alike.

Ideal for Thin Steel & All Positional Welding

WeldSkill GP E6013 electrodes are designed for:

• All positional welding (flat, horizontal-vertical, vertical-up and overhead)
• Vertical-down welding of thin steel sections
• General workshop fabrication
• Structural steel components
• Field repairs

These electrodes are especially effective when welding thin-walled mild or galvanised steel, delivering excellent edge wetting and clean mitre fillet welds.

Smooth Arc & Easy Re-Strike

One of the key advantages of WeldSkill GP is its smooth, stable arc performance. The electrode produces:

• Quiet, smooth arc action
• Low spatter levels
• Positive re-strike (hot or cold)
• Self-releasing slag for easy clean-up

This makes it ideal for welding joints with poor fit-up, where good gap-bridging and consistent bead shape are required.

Mechanical Performance

Typical all weld metal properties include:

• Yield Strength: 420 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 490 MPa
• Elongation: 29%

These properties make WeldSkill GP suitable for general fabrication and mild steel applications where reliable strength and ductility are required.

Available Sizes

WeldSkill GP E6013 electrodes are available in multiple diameters including 2.0mm, 2.5mm and 3.2mm in a range of pack sizes to suit DIY users through to trade professionals.

For a dependable, easy-to-use E6013 electrode suitable for general purpose mild steel welding, WeldSkill GP delivers smooth performance and consistent results.
