Product Description
The E6011 (Rutile) welding rod is a rutile-coated variant of the traditional E6011, engineered to provide a smoother arc and improved weld bead appearance without sacrificing the deep penetration and all-position capability the E6011 family is known for.
With its rutile flux coating, this electrode produces a stable, easy-to-control arc with low spatter, making it excellent for welders who prioritize clean weld aesthetics along with versatile, reliable performance.
Suitable for AC or DC electrode positive (DCEP) welding, this rod works well on various metal surfaces, including slightly rusty or mill-scale conditions, delivering a durable weld with excellent mechanical properties.
Key Features
-
Smooth Arc and Bead: Rutile coating ensures smooth arc behavior and a cleaner weld bead
-
Fast-Freezing Slag: Easy slag removal for quicker post-weld cleanup
-
All-Position Use: Certified for flat, horizontal, vertical (up/down), and overhead welding
-
Good Penetration: Effective in welding through mill scale, rust, and painted surfaces
-
AC/DC Polarity: Operates on AC or DC+ power for flexible application
Typical Applications
-
Structural steel fabrication and repair
-
Pipeline and tank welding with emphasis on bead appearance
-
General fabrication requiring all-position welding
-
Equipment maintenance and machinery repair
-
Automotive and heavy equipment welding
