AWS/ASME A 5.1 E 6010
DIN 499: E 42 2 C 25
ISO 2560A E 42 2 C 25
FEATURES & APPLICATIONS |
Ideally suited for difficult maintenance repairs. Easily welds steels that have been galvanized, painted rusted, or otherwise contaminated in service. Easy to use out of position.
- Adverse conditions mild steel electrode. Excels on rusty, greasy, poor fitting joints in all positions.
- Can bridge gaps as wide as 3/8 inch (9 mm).
- Slag can be welded over without removal.
- Excellent for out of position work.

Welding Techniques: Weld with a short-medium arc length at low amperage. When surface preparation is impractical, use a medium-long arc and favor high amperages. Multi-pass welds can be made without intermittent slag removal. Use any welding technique from stringer bead to wide weave.
Welding Positions: Flat, Vertical up, Vertical down, Horizontal, Overhead
