ED038106 - Lincoln Fleetweld 37+ E6013 Stick Electrodes 3/32" (8lb Can)

Premium E6013 Stick Electrodes for General Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric Fleetweld 37+ is a high-performance E6013 stick electrode designed for versatility and ease of use in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) applications. This 3/32-inch (2.5mm) electrode is engineered to deliver a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter, making it a preferred choice for both professional fabricators and maintenance personnel. Packaged in a convenient 8lb can, these electrodes are protected from moisture and damage, ensuring consistent performance right out of the container.

One of the defining characteristics of the Fleetweld 37+ is its exceptional bead appearance. The electrode produces a flat to slightly convex bead with fine ripples, which is often desirable for visible welds on consumer goods, furniture, or architectural metalwork. The slag system is designed for easy removal; in many cases, the slag is self-peeling, significantly reducing post-weld cleaning time and labor costs. This makes the Fleetweld 37+ particularly efficient for high-volume production environments where turnaround time is critical.

Technically, the Fleetweld 37+ excels in all welding positions, including vertical-down, which allows for faster travel speeds on thin materials. It is particularly well-suited for welding sheet metal where burn-through is a concern, thanks to its shallow to medium penetration profile. The electrode operates effectively on AC, DCEN (DC-), and DCEP (DC+) polarities, providing flexibility depending on the available power source and specific job requirements. It is also formulated to strike and restrike easily, even on machines with low open-circuit voltage (OCV), making it compatible with a wide range of welding power sources, from industrial generators to portable buzz boxes.

Key Technical Specifications:

• AWS Classification: E6013
• Diameter: 3/32 in (2.5 mm)
• Current Range: Optimized for lower amperage applications typical of this diameter
• Tensile Strength: Meets or exceeds 60,000 psi

For industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), the Fleetweld 37+ is a reliable go-to electrode for general repairs on mild steel. Its ability to bridge gaps in poor fit-up situations adds to its utility in field repair scenarios.
