Kind of... There are rods that will run on AC/DC and just on DC. To my knowledge, there are no rods that just run on AC only, but there might be some for exotic metals, etc out there. They must not be very common though.
Of the AC/DC rods, all will run smoother on DC, and get more penetration with a nicer arc, less splatter, easier starts, and no arc-outtages.
6010 is a deep digging electrode that burns through a lot of paint/rust/etc, but only runs on DC.
6011 is the AC version of 6010, same rod but with arc stabilizers for AC current. It doesn't get quite as much penetration, and runs a little differently, and can also be used on DC.
7018 can be run on AC or DC, but I'm told that theres a 7018AC version, that runs better on AC than regular 7018. I have never used that, though...
Most other DC rods (6013, 7014, etc) will also run on AC. I hope that this answers your question...

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
