6010 is intended for DC welding. It has no additives in the covering to keep the arc going each time the AC voltage reverses, so it is very hard to keep the arc struck. The result is usually poor quality welds. The solution is to switch to a rod designed for AC, such as 6013.

it dependsif your going virticle down i would set it at about 100 amps but if your going flat or horizontal i would crank it up to about 125 amps
yes
7018 structural 6010 root, 7018 cover for pipe
1/16 or an 1/8, usually an 1/8 and usually used in 6010 welding processes
to make sure the moisture is out of the rod.
6010
6010 = 6000 + 10
6010/700 = 601/70

2 basic types, Gas shielding, and flux shielding. Gas shielding comes from compressed tanks of inert gas such as argon. these gases are pumped through the welding hose and over the weld pool. The flux type protects the weld by covering it in a layer of slag that prevent it from being contaminated by the surrounding air.
6010 is a high cellulose sodium based electrode, which can be used to weld carbon steel pipes.
