Classification
| AWS class | E 6013 |

| EN ISO class | E 42 O RR 12 |
Purpose
- Thick-coated rutile electrode, the high-current variant of FERVEO STL 420R0 AC P2 (AWS E 6013, same EN ISO class).
Why it works
Same rutile character as FERVEO STL 420R0 AC P2, tuned to handle higher current with a soft, stable arc — the slag self-releases, no need to chip between passes.
Fields of application
- General carbon-steel fabrication where higher productivity is sought by welding at higher amperage than standard.

Advantages
- Handles higher current than FERVEO STL 420R0 AC P2 with a soft, stable arc — more productivity on the same type of work.
- Self-releasing slag, no manual chipping between passes.
Limitations
- Rutile coating — for toughness or cold-service demands, see the FERVEO STL B4/B5/B6 range.
