DESCRIPTION
The AWS E-6011
is an AC-LC
(reverse polarity)
electrode
with
a specia_ 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.
|t adapts to a wide
variety
of jobs due to the wide
range of amperage
settings
at which
top quality
resuJts are obtained.
Features:
Deeper
Penetration
-
Fast-Freeze
Puddle
-- Greater
Arc Stability.
WELDING
PROCEDURE:
Weld with
AC or DC (reverse polarity).
Strtke
the arc by brushing
rod tip lightly
at the
point
where
weld
is to be made.
After
the arc
is established
and
weld
mater;at
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 vert+ca; 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
we_ding overhead
use a straight
stringer
bead or a circular
motion.
Keep the
molten
pool .assmall as possible.
Use small electrodes
overhead,
none larger
than
,5/32 diameter.
