TYPES OF Arc WELDING ELECTRODE
There are some types of Arc Welding Electrode.
1.6010:
The 6010 electrodes are quite popular. They’re used to deliver deep penetration- a form of welding that calls for very high power densities of up to 1 megawatt per square centimeter. “Taking this into account, E6010 electrodes are mainly used in pipe welding and applications such as shipyards, water towers, steel castings, field construction and steel storage tanks.
“Important to note though is that they can only run on welding equipment that use direct current (DC).
