S112232-031 - Hobart 335A E6011 Stick Electrodes 3/32 Inch 50lb Carton

Hobart 335A E6011 Stick Electrode Overview

The Hobart 335A is a premium cellulosic stick electrode engineered for demanding industrial applications where surface preparation may be minimal. Classified as an AWS E6011 electrode, this product is specifically formulated to provide deep penetrating characteristics, making it an exceptional choice for welding coated steels, including galvanized materials, as well as rusty or painted mild steel. The 3/32-inch (2.4 mm) diameter allows for versatility in thinner gauge materials while maintaining the ability to bridge gaps in fit-up.

One of the defining features of the Hobart 335A is its arc stability. While many cellulosic electrodes are known for a harsh arc, the 335A is designed to offer a stable arc with significantly reduced spatter levels, particularly when used with AC power sources. It is also fully compatible with DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), providing flexibility across different welding power supplies. This versatility ensures that operators can achieve consistent, high-quality welds regardless of the machine available in the field or shop.

This electrode is suitable for all-position welding, including flat, horizontal, vertical-up, vertical-down, and overhead positions. This all-position capability is critical for structural work, shipbuilding, and railcar fabrication where out-of-position welds are frequently required. The fast-freezing slag characteristics of the E6011 classification make it ideal for vertical and overhead work, allowing the operator to control the weld pool effectively.

Supplied in a heavy-duty 50 lb (22.7 kg) carton, the Hobart 335A is packaged for volume consumption in industrial environments. It is a reliable consumable for general fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations (MRO), and structural steel erection. Whether used for single-pass tacking or multiple-pass structural welds, the Hobart 335A delivers the penetration and strength required for critical joints on mild steel.
