AWS E8010-P1 (E4310*)

Description

An excellent all-position, cellulosic mild steel electrode that delivers the arc stability and drive you need for the best penetration possible. Quit to start, it provides you with excellent wash-in, and produces a strong, dependable, X-ray quality weld with a light slag that is easy to remove. Its low-temperature impact properties make it a great choice for welding pipe steels with silicon contents of up to .30. Plus it is ideal for the single- or multi-pass, vertical-down welding of X56-X70 pipe.

Applications

TYPE OF CURRENT

Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP)

RECOMMENDED WELDING TECHNIQUES

GENERAL: Electrode positive, work negative (DCEP)
ARC LENGTH: Average length (1/8” to 1/4”)
FLAT: Stay ahead of puddle and use slight whipping motion
VERTICAL-UP: Slight whipping or weaving technique
VERTICAL-DOWN: Use higher amperage and faster travel, staying ahead of puddle
OVERHEAD: Use similar technique as for vertical-up, multi-pass for build-up
PIPE: Use downhill travel

STORAGE

 Dry at room temperature.
