S112258-035 - Hobart 335A E6011 3/16" Stick Electrodes - 50lb Can

Industrial Grade E6011 Cellulosic Electrodes

The Hobart 335A is a premium AWS E6011 stick electrode designed for heavy-duty industrial and general fabrication applications where surface preparation is minimal. Engineered with a specialized cellulosic coating, this electrode delivers a forceful, deep-penetrating arc capable of cutting through rust, scale, paint, oil, and dirt. It is an essential consumable for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments where base materials cannot always be cleaned to bare metal specifications.

This 3/16-inch diameter variant is packaged in a durable 50lb can, ensuring a substantial supply for high-volume structural projects. The 335A is formulated to operate with exceptional stability on Alternating Current (AC), addressing the common arc instability issues found in lesser cellulosic rods. However, it retains full compatibility with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), offering versatility across a wide range of power sources. Its fast-freezing weld puddle characteristics make it highly effective for out-of-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead orientations.

Mechanically, the Hobart 335A produces welds with high tensile strength and ductility, suitable for shipbuilding, railcar fabrication, and structural steel erection. The electrode supports both single and multiple pass procedures. Its ability to handle galvanized steels without excessive porosity makes it a preferred choice for infrastructure projects and farm equipment repair. Operators will appreciate the distinct spray-type transfer which aids in maintaining a consistent bead profile even under difficult conditions.
