HYW E6010 Stick Electrodes are the welder's choice for deep-penetration root passes and pipe work, supplied in a convenient 10 lb package. A high-cellulose sodium coating produces a tight, forceful, fast-freezing arc on DC+ that digs through rust, scale, and dirty surfaces — delivering strong, X-ray-quality welds in all positions, including vertical-down.
Key Features
› High-cellulose sodium coating for a deep, digging penetrating arc
› Fast-freezing puddle ideal for root passes and out-of-position work
› All-position capability, including vertical-down
