The 2.5 mm electrode (gauge 12) is a common dimension for stick welding rods, used for a variety of steel fabrication, repair, maintenance, and general welding tasks. Many 2.5 mm electrodes are rutile-coated (e.g. E6013 type) or low hydrogen (e.g. E7018) depending on specification. The electrode delivers filler metal to the weld pool while its flux coating stabilizes the arc, protects the molten metal from atmospheric contamination, and helps form slag for post-weld cleanup. This size provides a balanced compromise between ease of striking, penetration, and weld deposition rate for many standard jobs.
