E welding rod is considered one of the most commonly-used rods for amateurs and beginners. Hence, it is also known as &#;sheet metal rod&#;, &#;beginners&#; rod&#; or &#;easy rod&#;. It is a mild-steel, Rutile-based, all position and general purpose rod.

E is characterized as follows:
E stands for electrode.
60 stands for tensile strength which is almost 60,000 pounds per inch.
1 stands for position of electrode. This welding rod can be used for all four positions &#; flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead.
3 stands for the type of slag, flux composition and power supply. This welding rod can be used for AC or DC straight as well as for reverse polarity.
E electrode flux coating contains ferromanganese, cellulose, rutile, potassium silicate as a binder, and other siliceous materials. The potassium compounds allow it to operate with AC at low amperages and low open-circuit voltages. When the coating burns, the flux coating of this electrode creates carbon dioxide. It also has a high presence of titanium.
welding rod has its applications in:
General purpose fabrication
Shipbuilding and repair
Metal buildings and structures
Machine parts
Thin sheet metal welding

It makes a good choice when there is poor fit up to the joint as it provides a stable arc. It has a quieter arc and smooth bead surface with a fine ripple profile. It deposits effortlessly, producing medium to shallow penetration. You can also easily remove the slag produced by it.
welding rod is also ideal for filling on multi-pass welds which require putting one layer after another to produce the weld. It is convenient to work with this electrode when welders work with short or uneven welds that need positional adjustment.
welding rod is known for its characteristic for creating a smooth inside root due to which it lets the welder move easily and quickly, Hence known as a welder friendly. Further, it has a bright and clean backside slag formation which indicates less oxidation. This is an important and useful quality when the welder is doing a root pass weld, especially in pressurized situations.
The correct welding current or amperage primarily depends on the diameter of the electrode. The diameter can be 2.5mm, 3.2mm, 4mm and 5mm with amperage as 70, 100, 150 and 190 respectively. Hence, it is important to adjust the settings of the amperage based on the size of the electrode and base metal. It is advisable to use a wire brush to clean the metal before welding so that penetration can happen easily and smoothly.
welding rod is an excellent choice for the welders who need a versatile and deep-penetrating steel electrode with smooth and stable art.
was designed for general purpose welding on new mild steel.
it is an easy rod to learn to weld with, as it is very forgiving.
can be welded in any position
it is a low penetration rod, and doesn't have the ability to burn off contaminants from the base metal.
so make sure whatever you are welding has been cleaned up really good.
E is the best all around rod, in my opinion
if you buy in small batches, you'll be just fine.
i doubt that you will be doing any certified work soon,
so the restrictions of having a rod oven and keeping the rod at temperature is not an issue for you.
so long as you are not doing certified work, any can be placed in a toaster oven @300-350°F for an hour or so to refresh it before use.
restarting E requires a hard thump of the electrode against the work to re-strike the arc
I'm also a huge fan of E/E, they are my goto rods
i was instructed in comunity college for 2 years by a retired pipeline welder, well laid all our root passes with E
both and are for when stuff is grimy, rusty, poor fit up.
some inverter welders don't like the , but they will burn
as RJ mentioned E is a very nice rod to burn, very clean looking welds- no need for a rod oven either.
i like to run E on horizontal and flat position work where you need a lot of weld fast
