S129451-035 - Hobart 610 E6010 5/32" Welding Rods - 50lb Can

Premium E6010 Cellulose Electrode for Critical Applications

The Hobart 610 is a high-performance E6010 stick electrode designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the pipe welding, construction, and shipbuilding industries. Engineered with a premium high-cellulose sodium coating, this electrode delivers a forceful, deep-penetrating arc that ensures fusion even in challenging conditions. It is particularly renowned for its ability to cut through light rust, mill scale, oil, and painted surfaces, making it an essential consumable for maintenance and repair operations where surface preparation may be limited.

With a diameter of 5/32" (approx. 4.0mm), this electrode is optimized for DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) polarity. It produces a quick-freezing weld puddle, which provides the operator with exceptional control during out-of-position welding, including vertical-up, vertical-down, and overhead applications. This characteristic makes the Hobart 610 an industry favorite for root pass welding on pipe, where controlling the keyhole and ensuring complete penetration is paramount.

The 50lb hermetically sealed can ensures that the electrodes remain factory-fresh and free from moisture contamination until opened. The Hobart 610 produces X-ray quality welds, meeting the stringent requirements of API 5L and other critical codes. Its slag is thin and easily removable, reducing post-weld cleanup time. Whether used for single or multiple pass applications, this electrode offers consistent mechanical properties and reliable performance for mild steel fabrication.
