Description: AFM E6010 is a high cellulose coated ˇ°fast-freezeˇ± electrode. It produces a deep penetrating, forceful, spray type arc and readily removable, thin, friable slag which may not seem to completely cover the weld bead. It can be used for welding in the flat, vertical-up, vertical-down and overhead positions with DC reverse polarity.
Welding Characteristics: AFM E6010 will provide good arc stability with light slag while welding dirty, rusty or painted material that cannot thoroughly be cleaned. It will produce high deposition and low spatter loss in addition to a weld puddle that wets and spreads well. Its ˇ°fast-freezeˇ± characteristic allows it to set up fast enough to make it ideal for vertical up and vertical down welding and is frequently selected for welding pipe.
Applications: AFM E6010 is recommended for welding API grades A25, A, B, and X42 pipe and in shipbuilding, buildings, bridges, storage tanks, piping, and pressure vessel fittings.
