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 Current & Instructions

Recommended Current: DC Reverse (+), Straight (-), or AC

Recommended Amperage Settings:

Diameter (mm)3/32 (2.5)1/8 (3.25)5/32 (4.0)3/16 (5.0)
Minimum Amperage25355075
Maximum Amperage75125160200

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
