I agree with Bob, I could never make AC look as good as DC, even with 6011 or 6013. I also use 6010, which is referred to as mud rod for a first pass. 7018 for final pass, and 6" slag curl up.

I got a rectifier for this purpose a couple of years ago, 400A, 1600V.

I suppose one more project is just another drip in the bucket

Found some bigger iron for a choke. Just missing some thick copper for the winding.

DC will definitely help. 6010 & 6011 are harder to get really pretty welds, more spatter, but they get good penetration and clean well. Good for vertical and overhead. Can always run some 7018 on top.
