david boothby wrote on Sunday, January 02, 2000 (PST):if your going to weld on a bush hog why not use a 7014 iron powder rod or 7018 which is a low hydroden rod you will get a better weld and both psi on these rods sre 78000. per square inch. the weld will be better strenthened and it will last alot longer through the years 6011 is mostly used on mild steel and for cover passes on black iron pipe welds . before you put a rot pass on them dave b .
E Allison wrote on Monday, January 03, 2000 (PST):Arn't the currents listed for 1/8 inch rod too low (30 to 80 amps). Also, could you supply some pointers to keep from wandering off the desired area when arc welding, this has always been a problem for me. Thanks.

dan kuzyk (hydraulic dan) wrote on Thursday, January 06, 2000 (PST):I liked your write-up about welding with stick, but I thought that the last number in the welding rod number XXX_ meant the paricular position that it was good for.( I could be wrong about this). I use 6013 welding rod for all mild steel arc welding, and find that it does not stick to the metal as easly as 6011(6013 is probably the easiest rod to use for the beginer to use). I am building a bulldozer from auto parts and I will be selling a set of plans and technical report for it when I am done. I was wondering if the people at yesterdays tractors would like a write-up on basic hydraulics, how to design and build a hydraulic system, (so you can figure out how to build that wierd peice of equipment). I am presently writing this as part of the technical report for the bulldozer built from autoparts. If you want more information on basic hydraulics, or the bulldozer built from auto parts plese E-mail me at hydraulicdan@yahoo.com. thanks dan

Johnny Welder wrote on Monday, January 10, 2000 (PST):All-State Welding products makes a No. 34 Smoothcote Extruded Aluminum Electrode for Arc Welding 1/8" and heavier aluminum using DC reverse polarity. It's about $28.00 per lb. What amp. setting is used for this and does it work fairly good? I want to weld 1/8' and 3/16" diamondplate aluminum.
Dennis wrote on Friday, March 16, 2001 (PST):I fell onto the 7014 rod some time ago. I now keep it in stock in every size. It is truly an easy rod to weld with and produces beatiful welds. DC (-) is my setting of choice with this rod. I am planning on modifying the interior of my duck boat but I have no experience welding aluminum. I have both a MIG and STICK welder. Please help me get started.

Don wrote on Thursday, May 06, 2004 (PDT):I'm confused - I found your article and others on Google while trying to determine the correct rod to use for a project. Another article (see this link) www.jeep-l.net/info_jeep/weld_rod.htm sez the last digit is the type of rod - AC, DC, coating, etc. In your article you state that you're using an AC welder. But if I understand the above info, the rod 6011 is a DC rod..... number 1 being the last number and designator. What is the correct rod for use with an AC welder? Thanks. Don
