D C Reverse (Electrode Positive) is recommended.

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.

E6010 is a designation for a type of welding electrode used in arc welding, specifically for stick welding (SMAW). The "E" stands for electrode, while "60" indicates the minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi. The "1" signifies that it is suitable for all-position welding, and the "0" denotes that it is a cellulosic electrode, which is known for its deep penetration and ability to perform well in outdoor conditions with dirty or rusty materials.
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.
Welding rods are labeled with numbers that indicate their characteristics. The numbers typically represent the type of coating, tensile strength, and welding position of the rod. For example, a number like E6010 indicates that the rod has a high cellulose sodium coating and can be used in all welding positions. The numbers help welders choose the right rod for the specific welding job based on its properties.
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
