    If I weld on galvanized I try to grind the area I'm welding. I try to get rid of the galvanizing or at least as much as possible. 6010 would probably work pretty good since that's considered the dirty, greasy, painted steel rod.

    In case it becomes useful information, in another post Eyspy said he has a PowerArc 200. The max recommended rod size for this machine is 3/16". As a reminder, 3/16" converts to metric by multiplying by 25.4:
    3/16" x 25.4 = 4.76mm

    This is assuming the technical specs of the Australian machine are identical- I seem to recall there were some minor differences between machines sold here and machines in Australia.
