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.
