Mild Steel Covered Electrodes - AWS Class E6010

DCEP (Electrode Positive)

Code and Specification Data

AWS A5.1, Class E6010

ABS - AWS A5.1

CWB - CSA 48.1, E41010

It for the pipe welding industry but has a more consistent burn-off and a more forgiving arc burn. This provides a better bead profile and sidewall fusion with lower spatter. it will produce X-ray quality joints in the flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-up, and vertical-down procedures.

Recommended for welding API grades A25, A, B, and X42 pipe and general structural, ship, barge, and storage tank fabrication, May be used for welding root passes in higher grade pipe in some circumstances
