E6011

Suitable welding positions

C.W.B. to CSA W48.1 AWS A5.1
ASMFE – SFA 5.1, 6011

Typical applications
Covering is high cellulose type; common applications include welding of storage tanks, pipe, pressure vessel fittings, steel sheets, piping and ship construction.

Characteristics on usage

Excellent all position general construction electrode designed for both DC and AC current
Very good electrode when welding in poor grove fit up and vertical-down, all position welding of pipe
Slightly higher slag volume than E6010 electrodes, good bead appearance
High ductility root weld and easy slag removal
Produces good mechanical properties, meets X-ray requirements
Re-dry the electrode at 70-80° C for 30-60 minutes prior to use
