What electrodes would you select to produce a weld with shallow penetration E6010 or E6011 or E6013 or E7018?
E6013
What is the meaning of E6011?
E stands for electrode, 60 stands for tensile strength, 1 stands for welding positions, and 1 stands for special charcteristics.
Is the purpose of e7018 welding electrode for downhill direction only?
The designation E6011 means: E=electrode 60=60,00p.s.i.tensile strength as deposited 1= all position 1=coating make up
What do the numbers in the following electrodes mean 6011?
E stands for electrode, 60 Is one tenth of the tensile strength in mega pascals. And the last two is polarity position and covering, so with a E6011 u have a cellulose electrode for all positions all polaritys with a tensile strength of 600 mega pascals.
What is the meaning of 6013 in welding electrode?
60 represents the 60000 psi tensile strength; just need to add three zero. The third number represents the welding position; number 1 represents all positions. The last number represents the type of arc; 3 represents medium to shallow penetration ac/dcrp.
What is difference between welding rod and electrode?
welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
What factors must be considered in selection electrod?
Welding PositionTo determine what position(s) a particular electrode is qualified for, refer to the third digit in AWS classification. Here's how you decipher the qualified electrode position:1 = flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead2 = flat and horizontal onlyFor example, a 7018 electrode can be used in the flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions.Specification and Service ConditionsMake sure to assess the conditions that the welded part will encounter throughout its service. If it will be used in high heat or low temperature environments, subjected to repetitive shock loading, a low hydrogen electrode with higher ductility will reduce the chance of weld cracking. Also, be certain to check for welding specifications if you're working on critical applications such as pressure vessel or boiler fabrication. In most cases, these welding specifications will require you to use specific types of electrodes.Environmental Job ConditionsTo achieve the best results, you should always remove excessive mill scale, rust, moisture, paint and grease. Clean base metals help prevent porosity and increase travel speeds. If cleaning your base metal is not possible, E6010 or E6011 electrodes deliver a deep penetrating arc that has the ability to cut through contaminants.Conclusion
