E6010 Carbon Steel Pipe Welding Electrode Blue Demon

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 positions. 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 • Pipe welding • Vertical and overhead plate welding
