SME 6010

DETAILS

Features/Characteristics

SME 6010 Electrodes are characterized by a deeply penetrating, forceful, spray type arc and readily removable, thin friable slag which may not seem to completely cover the weld bead. Fillet welds usually have a relatively flat weld face and have a rather course, unevenly spaced ripple. The covering are high in cellulose, usually exceeding 30% by weight. The other materials generally used in the covering include titanium dioxide, metallic deoxidizers such as ferromanganese, various types of magnesium or aluminium silicates, and liquid sodium silicates, and liquid sodium silicate as a binder because of their covering composition, these electrodes are generally described as the high cellulose sodium type.

SME 6010 Welding Rod Uses/Applications

1. SME 6010 Electrodes are recommended for all welding position, particularly on multiple pass applications in the vertical and overhead welding positions and were weld of good soundness are required.
2. They frequently are selected for joining pipe and generally are capable of welding in the vertical position with either uphill or downhill progression.
3. Used majority for in joining Carbon Steel, Galvanized Steel, and Some Low Alloy steels.
4. Typical Applications include shipbuilding, buildings, bridges, Storage Tanks, Piping and Pressure vessel fittings.
