S129432-035 - Hobart 610 E6010 3/32" Stick Electrodes - 50lb Can

Hobart 610 E6010 Stick Electrode Overview

The Hobart 610 is a high-performance AWS E6010 carbon steel stick electrode designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the pipe welding, construction, and shipbuilding industries. Engineered with a premium cellulose coating, this electrode delivers the deep penetration and forceful arc characteristics required for welding mild steel in all positions. It is particularly effective for root pass welding on pipe where consistent penetration and fusion are critical. The 3/32-inch (2.4 mm) diameter allows for precision in tighter joints and lower amperage applications.

Technical performance is a hallmark of the Hobart 610. It operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) and provides a spray-type arc that digs deep into the base metal. The quick-freezing weld puddle makes it an excellent choice for vertical-up, vertical-down, and overhead welding positions, giving the operator substantial control over the bead profile. Unlike many standard cellulosic electrodes, the Hobart 610 is formulated to minimize spatter, thereby improving material efficiency and reducing post-weld cleaning requirements. The slag system is designed for easy removal, which is essential for multi-pass applications to prevent slag inclusions.

This product is supplied in a 50 lb (22.7 kg) hermetically sealed can. This packaging is crucial for maintaining the moisture content of the cellulose coating at the optimal level, ensuring that the electrodes perform consistently right out of the container without the need for immediate reconditioning. It meets AWS A5.1 specifications for E6010 electrodes and is suitable for use on mild steel substrates in general fabrication, maintenance, and critical infrastructure projects.
