DESCRIPTION
The AWS E-6011 is an AC-DC (reverse polarity) electrode with a special coating that provides strong
fluxing action for high quality welds, even in dirty, rust covered, galvanized or plated steels, An extremely
stable, spray type penetrating arc, is produced that is easy to start and restart after interruption. It is a
versatile electrode, producing welds far beyond the requirements of its A.WS. classification It adapts to a
wide variety of jobs due to the wide range of amperage settings at which top quality results are obtained
Features: Deeper Penetration - Fast-Freeze Puddle - Greater Arc Stability.
WELDING PROCEDURE: Weld with AC or DC (reverse polarity) Strike the arc by brushing rod tip lightly
at the point where weld is to be made. After the arc is established and weld material is deposited,
concentrate on holding a short arc that is just long enough to keep the electrode from touching the molten
metal, In the flat position, use a slight oscillating motion as you advance, In vertical position, on sheet steel
start at the top of the seam and weld down, This provides a more rapid speed of travel, lower penetration,
and minimum warpage When welding overhead use a straight stringer bead or a circular motion Keep the
molten pool as small as possible_ Use small electrodes overhead, none larger than 5/32 diameter_
