I will be in the market soon for a used diesel, lead for keels and stainless lifelines. Boat is located at Nanaimo BC. If there is any advantage to joint...
Brian and Gary, Thanks for your advice. I spoke to the Thyssen technical rep about the welding rods and especially the 6011 and the 7024 that Brent recommended...
Unless I misunderstand what you are saying below, it sounds like you've still got some reversals of logic going on. Here: - 6010 and 6011, regardless of...
MessageBrian, You have it right. Just as a point of interest. I did a repair on drawbars in a truck crane. They were made from T1 steel. I had to use 11018...
Brian and Gary, Thanks for your info on the rods. Are you saying that a 60,000 p.s.i. steel plate welded with a 6010 or 6011 rod is stronger than the same...
Ted, Assuming you could get two perfect welds with two different rods you probably would get two very similar strength welds. In the real world that rarely...
Ed, You sound like you're right on track now. And yes, your first paragraph below is right. The 6010/6011 rod will produce a stronger plate. The weld...

Ok..didn't know that. ... paragraph below is right. The 6010/6011 rod will produce a stronger plate. The weld material, the fill metal in the joint, will...
Brian and Gary, Thanks for your info. With regard to the weld metal recovery of the Thyssen 7024 rods which is given as 160% or 180%; the Thyssen technical...
Gary, Thanks for the info. I guess that is what might be expected with using a 7024 rod downhand. Doesn't the **2* means it is for flat / horizontal use only?...
Yes, that is true. But I so often hear "look how nice those welds are, there is nothing wrong with them!" If you didn't know that penetration makes a big...
There is a 7014 "fill freeze" rod. By the number you will see this to be an all position rod with 70,000 lbs tensile. Can be used AC/DC. Penetration is...
Where do all of you get your information? The AWS Welding Handbook? Hope so...I've got one on the way, but for now have to rely on my textbook (Welding Skills...
The Lincoln Electric Company has published "New Lessons in ARC WELDING" since 1940. There was a 1999 Edition. Barry Hammel in Vancouver BC stocks them as...
Hello folks. I'm new to the group here and new to groups period, hence I wasn't quite sure how to properly respond to the discussion regarding welding rods...
More good info! Thanks! I'm saving this one as yet another set of hints and tidbits for those like me (new, but in class and learning). My only comment is on...
Dear Cliff Claven The goal is to just get the boat in the water and have a safe and fun time. The fault in most defective welds is not the filler metal...
Well, I think the whole welding rod question is definitely worth the air-time for those of us who are fresh into the welding world, and of course this is what...
Brian - I'm not as up on my MIG filler wires as I should be, but here's what I can share with you. If you are MIG welding with what is known as 'hard wire',...
At the risk of belabouring this point, I do believe it is of value to the metal boat builder to review the reason for the use of 60XX series rods. Going back...
Thank you for such an informed and concise post. Given the electrolysis consideration, what rod(s) would you suggest for general hull fabrication?? 6010/11??...
I don't know why I'm receiving e-mail on the welding rods but I'm finding it interesting! There is a book called "Superior Alloys for Maintenance and Repair"...
Ted, it seems you may be welding in the UK. If this is the case and you wish to access 6010 0r 6011 electrodes they were avilable and probably still are....
Ted It's not uncommon for the chine welds to crack as you are pulling the hull together as they hinge a long way and change their angle greatly as the hull is...

I had mentioned that I'd ask my very-experienced welding instructor his opinion on the different rods. For boats, I don't think he's got any experience, but...
Brent and everyone, Many thanks for your info. Sorry I didn't reply sooner but we've been away sailing, in a GRP boat. I've now got the rods OK. Many years...
I must admit that after looking at the polished cross-sections of 6010/6011/6013 rods, that I came away feeling much more positive about 6013. I mean, left to...
