S112251-035 - Hobart 335A E6011 Stick Electrode 5/32" 50lb Can

Reliable E6011 Welding Electrodes for Maintenance and Repair

The Hobart 335A is a premium cellulosic stick electrode designed to tackle the toughest maintenance and fabrication jobs. Classified as an AWS E6011 electrode, it is engineered to deliver deep penetration and a forceful arc, making it the go-to choice for welding on materials that are less than perfect. Whether you are dealing with rusty farm equipment, painted structural steel, or galvanized piping, the 335A cuts through surface contaminants to ensure a solid, structural weld.

One of the standout features of the Hobart 335A is its exceptional performance on AC (Alternating Current) power sources. While many industrial electrodes require DC power, the 335A provides a stable and consistent arc on AC, making it compatible with a wide range of welding machines, from heavy-duty industrial power sources to standard shop "buzz boxes." It also operates effectively on DCEP, offering versatility for professional welders who need to switch between polarities based on the job requirement.

This 50lb can of 5/32" electrodes is ideal for heavy fabrication shops and ongoing maintenance operations. The larger diameter allows for higher amperage settings (typically 110-170 amps), enabling faster deposition rates and the ability to weld thicker sections of steel efficiently. The fast-freezing puddle characteristic of the cellulosic coating makes this rod suitable for all-position welding, including vertical and overhead, although the 5/32" size is most commonly used for flat and horizontal fillets on heavy plate.

Packaged in a hermetically sealed can, these electrodes are protected from moisture absorption during storage, ensuring they are fresh and ready to perform the moment you crack the seal. For reliable, deep-digging welds on mild and galvanized steel, Hobart 335A is a trusted industry standard.
