AWS A5.1 E6011 Electrode (Vacuum Packed)

Price includes VAT & Free Fast Delivery
Various Sizes Available. Please choose from the drop down menu.
Description & Applications:The electrode contains some 35% of organic materials which in the arc transform into a shielding gas and contributes to a concentrated deep penetrating arc with a fast-freezing slag. The flux is extruded onto a mild steel core wire using only potassium silicates which ensures coating strength.
The electrode is suited for use on AC or DC+ and is ideal for full penetration root runs using a controlled root gap and root face and a stringer bead technique. Slight grinding of the stringer bead with wire brushes prevents lateral inclusionsfollowed by a hot pass that particularly on high stressed and or high carbon steels promotes hydrogen diffusion and thus reduces the probability of hydrogen induced cracking.
Applications & Materials to be Welded:Cross country pipelines - on site storage tanks in following materials - mainly root pass:Mild Steels: St 360 C-St 510 C, St 34.2, St 37.2, St 46.2, St 37.3, St 46.3, St 52.3.Pressure vessel steels: H1, H11, St 35 KKW, St 41 KKW.High strength steels: St 52, St 35.4, St 45.4, St 52.4, St E210.7-St E415.7, St E290.7TM-St E415.7TM, St 35.8, St 45.8. API 5LX: X42, X46, X52, X56, X60.May also be used in root runs for higher tensile steels.

Sizes Available and Recommended Amperages:2.60mm - 70-903.2mm - 90-1304.00mm - 130-180
Storage:If allowed to become damp the electrodes should be re-dried for 30 minutes at 60°C before use.
