E6010 is an all position, cellulosic
electrode that has a quick-starting, steady, and deep penetrating arc. It
produces x-ray quality welds in flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-up, and
vertical-down procedures. E6010 was developed for the pipe welding
industry and is recommended for welding API grades A25, A, B, and X42 pipe and
general structural fabrication.
Typical Applications
General-purpose fabrication
Maintenance welding
Out-of-position X-ray welds
Construction and shipbuilding
