Would these rods work on the exhaust pipe? Thanks** A: I wouldn’t even attempt to weld the thin pipe on an exhaust system with an arc welder unless you are welding the pipe to a much thicker material where you are not going to burn through. On such thin material MIG or gas welding is much more controllable. **Q: I’m welding some 3mm mild steel, what size rods would you recommend ?** A: 2mm to 3mm rod should be ok hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1.6mm electrodes *by G***P on 10 October 2020* lit up and stable arc at 40a - jst about right for these light rods - stayed lit and worked well. good general purpose mild steel rods for light duty welding (sheet work in my case). a lot of negative reviews probably because people used too high a current - one guy sounded like his electrodes were damp or even wet!! store them right and keep them dry and theyre perfectly good, decent electrodes. minor grouse was no box but welders usually have plenty boxes so jst decant them into a box and stick on a label so youll know they are 1.6!!! mine came in a robust sealed bag which was well packaged so they were in perfect condition and dry. the parcel took a bit longer than expected but that wasnt the vendors fault and wasnt a problem for me as i had about 20 in my stock. nice and cheap and work well - whits not tae like???? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use everyday *by N*** on 29 April 2025* easy to use ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Welding rods *by A***Y on 17 April 2025* Very good product ## Frequently Bought Together - General Purpose E6013 ARC Welding Electrodes Rods for Mild Steel by MKGT® (2.0mm, 100) - DEKOPRO 220V MMA Welder, 250A ARC Welder Machine Electrode Holder,Work Clamp, Input Power Adapter Cable (250A) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/110609733-general-purpose-e6013-arc-welding-electrodes-rods-for-mild-steel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/110609733-general-purpose-e6013-arc-welding-electrodes-rods-for-mild-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
