Well thats a good question.I wouldnt use a 5/32 rod on sheetmetal probably.
You can weld with 6013,Im not going to deny that.It doesnt penetrate deep and look it up yourself,its low penetrating rod made for new clean sheetmetal welding.
If I knew what you were welding Maybe I could tell you,but to weld sheetmetal the best way is downhill and if you stay in front of the puddle it makes a good looking weld without slag in it done right.Its not very strong.Even if its 60,000 tensile strength its easy to break.About one hit with a good sized hammer and it will bust like it wasnt even there.Its brittle and not deeply penetrated.I think 3/32 or 1/8 would be better for sheetmetal which is all Ive ever seen.If 5/32 is all you have it might work on sheet metal if you move fast enough.
