Here are some more information for Welding Rod:
Flux Cored Welding is not a "new" process, being dated back to the 1920's. Instead of having the protective/stabilizing flux on the outside of the wire, as in "stick" rods, it is at the core of the wire. This flux does the same job as do the gases used Gas MIG Welding.
At Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, we periodically built rail-car "car sills". These are the heavy metal frames upon which the railroad boxcar sits. We would use a "pantograph" machine for semi-automatically cutting out parts for the sill. Then we'd weld many of the parts with "jet rod" (7024 type), which is super easy to run on flat welds. The welds looked VERY nice.
For most other welding, we used heavy duty MIG welders. We'd fiddle with "gas" settings & wire speeds till it was just right. Then we'd just go & go till we got to the end of the pieces. We never had to worry about "duty cycle", we just kept going. We could get a LOT done with those MIGS. If you are going to do a LOT of welding, you may want to start with a wire feed welder.
I prefer a flux cored welder because there's no "gas" bottles nor pressure adjusting, nor are there issues with welding outside in the wind. It's a personal decision; gas or flux cored. I would use the recommended setting ranges, running on the "hotter" side just to get the feel and coordination of running beads. An in-expensive, occasional use flux cored machine for the little jobs is fine. For my bigger jobs I go to my stick welder.
More tips and ideas for flux cored welding:
* If you go through eBay to but one, you may want to first go to welding supply shops & see them in person.
* Flux cored welders are mainly for the thinner materials. If you're going to work on cars & the like, you would probably prefer wire feed over stick.
* I've done a lot of sheet-metal work with stick rods, but I needed to use really small rods, plus do a lot of "touch & go" welding, rather then continuous welds.
* One of your first accessories should be a pair of "MIG pliers". They are great for helping you keep your equipment clean & to be able to easily convert to other wire sizes.
* When you install your 1st wire spool, don't mess with bending it around much, or it may break. Re-threading & pulling out any that's already in the guide tube can be a pain.
* Again, use recommended settings, then make adjustments as needed. Some machines are really limited for adjustments, so you may have to experiment with your gun positioning & arc length.
* I'd bet that there are as many variations for adjustments as there are different manufacturers & models. Be patient & keep trying.
Machine Selection:
* This is primarily dependent on your budget, then on exactly what type of welding you'll be doing. If you feel that you might go beyond just doing your own thing, then get the best you can afford.
* The cheaper units are all pretty much the same: for light duty at home projects. The mid-priced ones can get you started in your business, but you'll likely be up-grading as soon as you can afford to.
Flux Cored Troubleshooting:
* Don't let go of the wire end when you're loading a new spool! It may not feed right even if you can get it all un-raveled & fed through.
* If you feel the wire pushing against the bottom of the puddle, turn the speed down or the heat up (or both).
* Try not to keep the nozzle end too close to the puddle. That can make more splatter get into the tip piece.
* When you first start the weld, stay put momentarily to allow the puddle to form & fill the initial crater.
* Uneven feeding? Make sure the wire guide isn't twisted or kinked.
* Can't see an actual puddle? Clean you helmet lens & get closer. If all you're seeing is a bunch of sparks, you're not really seeing what's going on. And again, you need to go at a speed that gives enough time for a puddle to form.
I started working as a Journey-level welder for Weyerheauser Timber Company more than 20 years ago. That was the same year that I became a certified welder in Washington State.

A beginners guide to striking an arc with a welding rod
The theory behind keeping an arc going is, the electrical current is forced between the welding rod tip and the steel you are welding. If you want to be a successful welder you must be able to strike an arc and keep it going without even thinking about it.
The 2 most common ways of starting your arc are by tapping and scratching your welding rod to the steel. Scratching seems to be the most natural way used by beginners.
Scratching is when you swipe the rod across the steel as if you were trying to light a match. Once the rod makes contact with the steel, the arc starts. The only real reason for scratching it to get it started is so it won't stick to the steel since it is in motion. The trick then is to locate where you want to weld and try to keep the arc going. This takes some practice to get the hang of it.
Tapping is basically stabbing the steel with your welding rod. This is better for starting your rod in the correct welding location, but it is harder to keep the rod from sticking and still maintaining an arc. The natural reaction is once the arc strikes, you will want to pull it away to keep it from sticking. The only problem is, beginners tend to pull it too far away and lose the arc. This can go on and on and is actually pretty funny to watch someone doing this. But we all need to remember we were new at one point also.
Sticking of your welding rod is caused by the rod melting to the steel before it is pulled away slightly to maintain it's arc. I won’t go into how far away it should be from the steel since it is dependent on what type of rod you are using and the amperage you are welding with.
These are the basics and should give you an idea of how to strike an arc. Just remember that it takes practice and patience to get good at it. One day you will grab the stinger and it will all just click in your head. It will almost start to feel natural, then you will know it’s all coming together.

Can a e6013 welding rod be used on a 110 volt arc welder?
Just got one and been using the 1/16" rods and they are not working for me. Burn too quick and become glowing, red hot when used. Have used e6011, e6013, and e7018 but on a 230 volt. Not worried about ruining metal but will it ruin arc welder?
kinda hard to say. you didnt state what you thickness you are welding and at what amperage. it would also help to know what type of machine you have and what the duty cycle is.
you either need to turn down the amps or switch to a thicker rod. it shouldnt hurt the welder just dont exced the duty cycle. step up to a 3/32 rod wich can weld up to a 1/4 inch plate between 40-125 amps. below is how to decode the numbers on the rod.
Arc welding electrodes are identified using the A.W.S, (American Welding Society) numbering system and are made in sizes from 1/16 to 5/16 . An example would be a welding rod identified as an 1/8" E6011 electrode.
The electrode is 1/8" in diameter
The "E" stands for arc welding electrode.
Next will be either a 4 or 5 digit number stamped on the electrode. The first two numbers of a 4 digit number and the first 3 digits of a 5 digit number indicate the minimum tensile strength (in thousands of pounds per square inch) of the weld that the rod will produce, stress relieved. Examples would be as follows:
E60xx would have a tensile strength of 60,000 psi E110XX would be 110,000 psi
The next to last digit indicates the position the electrode can be used in.
EXX1X is for use in all positions
EXX2X is for use in flat and horizontal positions
EXX3X is for flat welding
The last two digits together, indicate the type of coating on the electrode and the welding current the electrode can be used with. Such as DC straight, (DC -) DC reverse (DC+) or A.C.
I won't describe the type of coatings of the various electrodes, but will give examples of the type current each will work with.
ELECTRODES AND CURRENTS USED
EXX10 DC+ (DC reverse or DCRP) electrode positive.
EXX11 AC or DC- (DC straight or DCSP) electrode negative.
EXX12 AC or DC-
EXX13 AC, DC- or DC+
EXX14 AC, DC- or DC+
EXX15 DC+
EXX16 AC or DC+
EXX18 AC, DC- or DC+
EXX20 AC ,DC- or DC+
EXX24 AC, DC- or DC+
EXX27 AC, DC- or DC+
EXX28 AC or DC+
CURRENT TYPES
SMAW is performed using either AC or DCcurrent. Since DC current flows in one direction, DC current can be DC straight, (electrode negative) or DC reversed (electrode positive). With DC reversed,(DC+ OR DCRP) the weld penetration will be deep. DC straight (DC- OR DCSP) the weld will have a faster melt off and deposit rate. The weld will have medium penetration.
Ac current changes it's polarity 120 times a second by it's self and can not be changed as can DC current.
ELECTRODE SIZE AND AMPS USED
The following will serve as a basic guide of the amp range that can be used for different size electrodes. Note that these ratings can be different between various electrode manufactures for the same size rod. Also the type coating on the electrode could effect the amperage range. When possible, check the manufactures info of the electrode you will be using for their recommended amperage settings.

Note! The thicker the material to be welded, the higher the current needed and the larger the electrode needed.
SOME ELECTRODE TYPES
This section will briefly describe four electrodes that are commonly used for maintenance and repair welding of mild steel. There are many other electrodes available for the welding of other kinds of metals. Check with your local welding supply dealer for the electrode that should be used for the metal you want to weld.
E6010 This electrode is used for all position welding using DCRP. It produces a deep penetrating weld and works well on dirty,rusted, or painted metals
E6011 This electrode has the same characteristics of the E6010, but can be used with AC and DC currents.
E6013 This electrode can be used with AC and DC currents. It produces a medium penetrating weld with a superior weld bead appearance.
E7018 This electrode is known as a low hydrogen electrode and can be used with AC or DC. The coating on the electrode has a low moisture content that reduces the introduction of hydrogen into the weld. The electrode can produce welds of x-ray quality with medium penetration. (Note, this electrode must be kept dry. If it gets wet, it must be dried in a rod oven before use.)
check your owners manual for you machines duty cycle
Duty cycle is a welding equipment specification which defines the number of minutes, within a 10 minute period, during which a given welder can safely produce a particular welding current.
For example, a 150 amp. welder with a 30% duty cycle must be "rested" for at least 7 minutes after 3 minutes of continuous welding.
