OERLIKON Electrode FI 4.0 mm Pink (93 pcs) 4.5 kg OVERCORD - Rutile Welding Electrodes E6013

Welders often struggle with electrodes that produce excessive spatter, poor slag removal, or inconsistent arc stability, leading to rework and wasted time. The OERLIKON Electrode FI 4.0 mm Pink (93 pieces, 4.5 kg pack) OVERCORD solves these issues with a medium rutile coating that delivers a smooth, stable arc and a self-releasing slag, ensuring clean, high-quality welds with minimal cleanup. This E6013 electrode is engineered for all-position welding of unalloyed structural steels, making it a versatile choice for fabrication, repair, and construction work.

Who is it for

These electrodes are ideal for professional welders, metal fabricators, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require reliable performance on general construction steels. Whether you are working in a workshop or on a job site, the OERLIKON FI 4.0 mm Pink electrodes provide consistent results in all positions, including vertical-up and overhead, thanks to their balanced formulation and AC/DC+ compatibility.

Tips

For best results, store electrodes in a dry place and re-dry if exposed to moisture. Use DC+ for deeper penetration or AC for general purpose welding. Maintain a short arc length and a slight drag angle for vertical-up welding. The self-releasing slag minimizes chipping, but a light brush will leave a clean weld ready for painting or further work.
