I saw some 6022 rod the other day and was just curious what it is like.

Did search and seems like it is a "decking rod". Flat/horizontal only. Was wondering how it runs...like 6010/11? Any other uses for it?

It is a decking rod. It is used to plug weld decking to structure. Works very well in that app. I have never ever tried it any other way.

Its only used for the 5/8" puddle weld for decking. Won't work on anything else.

Thanks guys. Just seen some the other day at an auction and got to wondering about it.

Maybe you could chip off the flux and use them for NINJA spears?

Who lays awake at night thinking, "I wonder what I could do with the welding rod that's out in the garage?"

And do we any longer wonder why they say there will be a shortage of welders in the future?

Yes, you never know when you might be attacked by a grass door mat while welding on a job site and need to defend yourself. Who was it that posted that thread about the company banning odd items as weapons on the job site. I guess they can add welding rods to that list. :laugh::laugh:

Its a puddle spot weld.

6022 has been used by many ironworkers to weld bridging into joists. Most engineers are requiring a 70-series rod these days though. Even had some jobs require 70 series rod for the deck welds.
