Elex® C 6010

General description

Cellulosic coated electrode for pipe and general welding

Gives high ductility root welds

Very deep penetration ensures sound root pass

Easy striking, easy slag release

High volume of generated gas eliminates porosity

Reduces problems from dirt and oil on surface

Current type

DC electr.+     

Application advice 

Preheating pipe material L360 (X52) required (acc.EN 1011-1)

Pipeclamps to be removed after finishing root pass,start welding hot pass within 5 min after root pass

Use electrodes directly from metal cans
