ESAB SUREWELD® 6011 

Sureweld 6011 is an all-position, cellulosic type electrode designed for AC. It produces an easily controlled forceful arc with deep penetration and a high quality weld metal which will pass specification requirements for radiography. Sureweld 6011 is used primarily for welding mild steels such as ASTM A-36, A-283, A-284, A-285, A-515, A516 and ABS hull and boiler steel. Typical applications include welding of buildings, piping, shipbuilding, pressure vessels and tanks. AC-DCEP (Electrode Positive).
