What electrodes would you select to produce a weld with shallow penetration E6010 or E6011 or E6013 or E7018?
E6013
What is the tensile strength of an E6010 electrode?
60 ksi
What is E6010 electrode?
6010 600000 psi, i =all position, 0 = ronze High charged iron electrode, it's about 246 mV
What is the meaning of welding electrode E6010?
E - Stands for Electrode 60 - 60,000 tensile strength. 1 - in all position welding can be done 0 - cellulose
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 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
