OVERVIEW

Reliable Deep Penetration Welding with Bonarc 6010

The Bonarc 6010 4.0mm Stick Electrode is a premium choice for welders requiring deep penetration and a fast-freezing puddle. Designed with a high cellulose sodium coating, this electrode is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of pipe welding, shipbuilding, and general construction. The 4.0mm diameter provides substantial deposition rates while maintaining the control necessary for critical root passes and out-of-position work.

One of the standout features of the Bonarc 6010 is its ability to handle less-than-perfect base metals. Whether you are working on steel that is rusty, painted, or slightly oily, the digging arc of this electrode burns through contaminants to ensure a sound weld. This makes it an indispensable tool for maintenance and repair operations where surface preparation cannot always be perfect. The forceful arc ensures fusion deep into the base metal, providing the structural integrity required for pressure vessels and heavy machinery.

This electrode is classified as an all-position rod, meaning it excels in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Its fast-freeze characteristic allows the welder to control the molten pool effectively, preventing sagging or dripping when welding vertically or overhead. This versatility reduces the need to switch electrodes for different joint orientations, streamlining the workflow on complex projects.

Bonarc has formulated this electrode to provide a stable arc on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive) polarity. The slag produced is thin and brittle, making for quick and easy removal, which is essential for multi-pass welding applications to prevent slag inclusions. Whether you are a professional pipe welder or a fabricator looking for a reliable rod for structural steel, the Bonarc 6010 4.0mm delivers consistent performance and quality results.

FAQ

Bonarc 6010 electrodes are designed to run on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as DC+ or Reverse Polarity.

Yes, the Bonarc 6010 is an all-position electrode. Its fast-freeze characteristics make it excellent for vertical-up and overhead welding.

No, cellulosic electrodes like the E6010 should not be stored in a heated oven. They require a small amount of moisture in the coating to function correctly. Over-drying can cause poor arc performance.

This specific product is 4.0mm in diameter, which is approximately equivalent to 5/32 inches.

Yes, the E6010 classification is known for its digging arc which penetrates well through rust, scale, paint, and oil, making it ideal for repair work.

This rod is classified as AWS E6010.

It is most commonly used for root passes in pipe welding and for general maintenance on dirty or coated steels.
