European electrodes conversion chart

I started stick welding a while ago with 6013 and it's cool, but now I want to give a try to 6011 or 7018 and it seems impossible to find them here in Europe.

Does anyone know the references I should look for?

Thanks

The trailer is made for 3 of these green folding boxes we have everywhere in Europe. It's a standard format used for groceries.

Re: DC rods with AC welder and rods recommendation

Thanks for your answers.
I'll probably give a try to 6013.
Any recommendations on diameter?
Thanks

DC rods with AC welder and rods recommendation

Just bought my first welder and I'm about to do my first welds, so absolute beginner here. I went for a 160A AC stick welder. I read as much as I could to avoid wasting anyone's time, but still have 2 things to doublecheck: - The user manual says I can plug the clamp and electrode holder alternative...
