there are lots of different types of stick welding rods. Some of the most commonly used Stick electrodes in the USA are 6010, 6011, 6013, 7014, and 7018. This video shows padding beads with different welding rods as well as some applications for each rod.

How about Jet Rods?

7024 rods are often called Drag rods or Jet rod and are still used quite a bit in certain industries.

I met a nice lady named Andrea at Fabtech (she is @hotwork247 on Instagram)
She routinely welds with 3/16” and 1/4” stick rods at a steel mill.

3/16” 7024 electrodes lay down a lot of metal but there can be issues.

The 2 in 7024 means it is not an all position rod …its only rated for flat and horizontal.

Since a horizontal fillet weld is actually more like flat welding, thats why 7024 gets the horizontal rating.

Once you start to get to a true horizontal weld, things can go off the rails.

I like 6011 rods becasue:
6011 rods burn good on both AC and DC
most small inverter welders will burn 6011 but not 6010
6011 electrodes are readily available at big box stores and places like tractor supply

Video shows padding beads using 6010 rods. This is a fundamental exercise that most welding schools use. I think using 6010 rods for padding beads is a better choice than 6013 welding rods because 6010 is the rod used for open butt root passes and that is the skill needed to get a good paying welding job.
