ESAB 812000040 ELECTRODE, E6010 X 5/32″ SUREWELD 5LB

The ESAB 812000040 Sureweld 10P Plus E6010 Stick Electrode is a 5/32″ diameter, deep-penetrating electrode designed for pipe welding, structural fabrication, and heavy-duty repairs. Packaged in a 10 lb hermetically-sealed can, this cellulosic-coated electrode provides high arc force, deep penetration, and excellent fusion—even on rusted, painted, or contaminated steel. With a tensile strength of 86.9 ksi and DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) compatibility, it is an ideal choice for welders working on API 5L pipeline grades, structural steel, and pressure vessels.

For professionals working in pipeline welding, shipbuilding, or construction, this E6010 electrode delivers fast, forceful arc action with high deposition rates. It is designed for all-position welding, making it perfect for vertical-up, overhead, and downhill pipe welding applications. Whether in industrial fabrication or emergency repair work, this electrode ensures reliable, high-strength welds in single-pass and multi-pass welding operations.

Features

• Deep Penetration Arc: Ensures strong fusion even on rusted, dirty, or painted surfaces.
• Fast-Freezing Slag: Allows for smooth, controlled welding in all positions.
• Forceful Arc Action: Ideal for root passes and open-gap welding on pipes and structural steel.
