Mild Steel Covered Electrodes - AWS Class E8010

DCEP (Electrode Positive)

Code and Specification Data

AWS A5.5, Class E8010-P1

CWB-CSA 48.1, E41010

It is an all-position cellulosic electrode that is especially suited for welding high strength pipe. It produces the consistent, deep penetration required to maintain a proper keyhole when vertical-down welding in open root pipe joints. X-ray quality joints can be produced with it using flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-up, and Vertical - down welding procedures.

It is recommended for welding API grades X60, X65, and X70 pipe
