ED511110 - Lincoln Fleetweld 5P+ E6010 1/8" Stick Electrodes (50lb Can)

Industry Standard E6010 for Pipe and Structural Welding

The Lincoln Electric Fleetweld 5P+ is widely regarded as the benchmark for E6010 cellulosic stick electrodes. Designed to improve upon the classic Fleetweld 5P, the "Plus" designation signifies enhanced operator appeal, offering a smoother arc, less spatter, and better bead appearance while maintaining the aggressive digging characteristics required for critical applications. This 3.2mm (1/8") diameter electrode is packaged in a 50lb easy-open can, ensuring you have ample supply for heavy industrial projects.

Fabricators and pipe welders rely on the Fleetweld 5P+ for its exceptional ability to handle adverse surface conditions. Whether you are welding on steel that is rusty, painted, greasy, or coated, this electrode burns through contaminants to create a sound, strong weld. Its deep penetration profile makes it the premier choice for root passes on cross-country pipelines and in-plant pipe fabrication, ensuring complete fusion at the root.

One of the standout features of this electrode is its quick-freeze slag characteristics. This property allows for high-speed welding in the vertical down position, significantly increasing productivity on the job site. The slag layer is thin and easily removable, reducing cleanup time between passes. Furthermore, the arc stability provided by the Fleetweld 5P+ is superior to many other electrodes in its class, offering excellent control even for welders who may be newer to using cellulosic rods.

Common Applications:

• Cross-country pipeline welding
• Steel structural fabrication
• Maintenance and repair on dirty steel
• Shipbuilding and storage tanks
• Pipe root passes (API 5L grades)

When your project demands the reliability of a classic E6010 with modern refinements for ease of use, the Lincoln Fleetweld 5P+ is the definitive solution. It delivers the mechanical properties and radiographic quality required for code work while providing the welder with a manageable and consistent arc.
