A strong forceful arc of this electrode creates deeply penetrating welds, while the fast freeze characteristic allows it to be used in any position including vertical-up, vertical-down, overhead, and flat or horizontal Produces x-ray quality weld deposits with a thin friable and easily removable slag revealing a coarse ripple bead Excellent choice for multiple pass applications where sound welds are critical Typically used for joining pipes, carbon steel, galvanized steel, pressure pipes, pressure vessels, oil marine platforms, storage tanks, ship hulls, and buildings Stick electrodes 6010 5/32" 5Ibs 1 Pack Welding Rods vacuum seal packages 6010 is a high cellulose coated electrode designed to provide a smooth stable arc forceful enough to achieve deep penetration into the base metal. This electrode exhibits high deposition efficiency and low spatter loss. It produces a weld puddle that wets and spreads well, yet sets up fast enough to make this electrode ideal for vertical up or vertical down welding techniques. 6010 electrodes produce a flat weld bead with coarse ripples and a thin easily removable slag. 6010 electrodes may be used in the flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead welding positions.
