- Applications
- W 6011 is commonly used as an all purpose electrode for automobile body shops and mild steel farm equipment. Other uses would include shipbuilding, bridges, boilers, barges, railroad cars, pipes, truck frames, pressure vessels, storage tanks and galvanized steel.
- Characteristics
-
- - As the welding in poor groove fit up and vertical-dawn welding can be performed easily, it is used in all position welding of pipes.
- - W 6011 high cellulose coated electrodes provide excellent arc stability, increased ductility, high deposition efficiency and low spatter.
- - It is especially suited for welding where poor groove fit-up and rusty or oily steel is present.
- Notes on Usage
-
- - Dry the electrodes at 70~80°C for 30~60 minutes before use.
