PIPEARC 6010P CIGWELD AWS/ ASME-SFA A5.1: E6010

Description and Applications:
PipeArc 6010P is a user friendly, high cellulose type electrode for
welding mild steel in all welding positions. PipeArc 6010P exhibits
a quiet and forceful deep penetrating arc, quick freezing slag,
extra low spatter levels and easy slag removal.
PipeArc 6010P is designed specifically for pipe line welding using
Direct Current Electrode Positive ( DC+ ) . It can be used for the root,
fill and capping pass welding of full penetration joints in a wide
range of steels using “ stovepipe� and “ flick� techniques. Root
passes ( root runs) in single “ V� butt preparations completed with
PipeArc 6010P produce full and uniform penetration with excellent
reverse bead formation.
This electrode can be used for a wide range of applications such
as, site fabrication work in the oil, LPG and LNG gas industries,
shipbuilding, maintenance and general purpose work. PipeArc
6010P is used to weld out ( root, fill and cap) steel pipes such as
API 5L, 5LX grades X42 to X52.
For the welding of “ V� butt ( groove weld) joints in higher strength
steels, including 5LX grades X60, X65 and X70, PipeArc 6010P is
recommended for root pass welding only. The fill and capping
passes should be completed with PipeArc 7010P for X60 & X65
grades and PipeArc 8010P for X70 grades.
