More info

The CHIYODA E6013 S-12 is a Mild Steel Welding Electrode.¹

The classification E6013 is based on the AWS (American Welding Society) specification A5.1, and it indicates the following general properties:²

E stands for Electrode.³
60 indicates a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi (approximately 414 MPa).⁴
1 means it can be used in all welding positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead).⁵
3 indicates a rutile-based coating (high-titania potassium) and compatibility with both AC and DC welding current.⁶

The "S-12" designation is likely a specific product identifier used by Chiyoda (or a similar manufacturer like Powerweld in the search results) for their premium, general-purpose E6013 electrode.
