The "e" in "electrode" stands for "electric," as the term relates to the conduction of electricity. An electrode is a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an electrochemical cell or system. It plays a crucial role in facilitating the flow of electric current during electrochemical reactions.
E - Stands for Electrode 60 - 60,000 tensile strength. 1 - in all position welding can be done 0 - cellulose
6013 is a mild steel electrode that bridges the span between mild steel and medium steel. It has a lot of the characteristics of the 60s type electrode but with a thicker coating that doesn't spatter as much and can be used with either AC or DC Polarity. 60 equals 60,000 lbs tensile strength, 1 equals all position, 13 states basic coating type and denotes AC plus DC useage. The deposited bead has a thicker slag coating than 6010, 6011, 6012.
Almost all electrodes have a series of numbers to tell #1 what the tensile strength of the weld will be, #2 what electrical current to use, #3 what position/s it can be used in (ie: flat, vertical etc.) Ex. E - 7018. E = electrode, 70 = 70,000 lbs tensile strength, 1 = all positions, 18 = AC or DC reverse polarity current. (welding lead +)
Electrodes with too much moisture may lead to cracking or porosity.
6010
yes
to make sure the moisture is out of the rod.
6010 is a high cellulose sodium based electrode, which can be used to weld carbon steel pipes.
6010 600000 psi, i =all position, 0 = ronze High charged iron electrode, it's about 246 mV
6010
use a xx1x electrode such as a 6010 or 7018. i like around 77-82 amps for a 6010. point the rod about 5 degrees down and do small circles up while watching your puddle to maintain a consistent bead. start your tie ins a half inch above where you finished then quickly work your way back down to tie in and continue your progress up.
6010 = 6000 + 10
any electrode with the first two digits 60 are 60000 psi tensile strength ex a 7018 would have 70000 psi tensile strength
The designation E6011 means: E=electrode 60=60,00p.s.i.tensile strength as deposited 1= all position 1=coating make up
Baking is generally recommended for E6010 electrodes, especially if they have been exposed to moisture. While not strictly required, baking helps remove any moisture that could lead to porosity in the weld. Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain the electrode's performance, so following manufacturer's guidelines is advisable.
