ED511113 - Lincoln Fleetweld 5P+ E6010 3/32" Welding Rods

Industry Standard E6010 Electrode for Pipe Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric Fleetweld 5P+ is a premium cellulosic stick electrode designed to meet the rigorous demands of the pipe welding industry. Classified as an AWS E6010, this electrode is engineered to deliver deep penetration and a forceful arc, making it the definitive choice for root passes on carbon steel pipes. The "Plus" designation signifies an improved formulation over the classic Fleetweld 5P, offering welders a smoother arc, reduced spatter, and better bead appearance while maintaining the aggressive digging characteristics required for high-quality root fusion.

This 2.5mm (3/32") diameter variant is particularly effective for initial root passes where precision and control are paramount. The quick-freezing slag characteristics allow for excellent control in all welding positions, including vertical-up and overhead, which are essential for fixed-position pipe welding. The high-cellulose sodium coating generates a shielding gas that protects the weld pool while providing the necessary drive to burn through light rust, scale, or oil, reducing the need for extensive pre-weld cleaning in repair and maintenance scenarios.

Ideally suited for cross-country pipelines, in-plant pipe fabrication, and structural steel erection, the Fleetweld 5P+ ensures consistent X-ray quality welds. It operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) and provides a stable arc that helps prevent fingernailing. For industrial distributors and procurement specialists, stocking Fleetweld 5P+ ensures you are providing your clients with the most trusted consumable for critical infrastructure projects.
