i was going to sugest 316 stainless if you only have ac,   6010 5p+ will run ok  on ac and is high penitration i dont know what 7018 is the best on ac  but i only use atom arc or excalibur.      but  my opion is just get rid of the ac welder and get a cheap little ac dc miller thunderbolt,  this coming from a diehard linclon guy that has had one of those little millers for thirty years

Well:

6011 Not a problem.

6013 Not a problem.

7014 Not a problem.

7018 Not a chance.  

Tried all 4 of them yesterday trying to learn something.  

I'm not saying I made beautiful welds with perfect penetration for all of these, I am NOT a good welder, but usually I make stuff stick together for farm repairs.  But I am saying I could strike an arc quite easily and maintain a bead and flow with all except the 7018.  Nice sunny day out yesterday, preheated the work, etc., and no-go.

I've found a HUGE difference between 7018  vs 7018AC

so I only use 7018AC....

hay I have BOTH here, same style package
I really should relocate the 7018 AWAY from the welder though..too easy to just 'grab a rod' and then 'fun' happens....

Just give it to someone who would use it, or throw it away.
