Lincoln Electric Omnia 46 FI elettrodo rutilico 2,5 mm confezione 4,8 kg (E6013)

The Lincoln Electric Omnia 46 FI 2.5 mm electrode stands apart from generic rutile rods by combining a smooth, stable arc with a self-releasing slag that lifts off almost on its own. That means less time chipping between passes and cleaner weld beads on mild steel, even if your technique is not perfect. The medium-heavy rutile coating delivers easy re-striking and forgiving operation, making it a practical choice for general fabrication, repair work, and light pipe or sheet metal jobs where appearance matters.

Highlights

• Rutile-coated E6013 electrode for all-position welding on mild and general structural steels
• Smooth, stable arc with easy re-striking – ideal for both AC and DC (+) power sources
• Self-releasing slag for quick, effortless removal and a tidy finish
• Typical yield strength over 380 MPa and tensile strength over 470 MPa
• 4.8 kg pack contains approximately 356 electrodes (2.5 mm x 350 mm)

In daily use

Whether you are patching a gate, building a bracket, or running a root pass on thin-wall tube, the Omnia 46 FI behaves predictably. Set your machine between 60 and 90 A, strike an arc with minimal effort, and the electrode burns evenly with low spatter. The slag peels away in large sections, leaving a smooth, slightly convex bead that requires little grinding. Because it runs well on small transformer welders and inverter machines alike, it is a dependable rod to keep on the shelf for both workshop and site work.
