Pipe Welding Electrodes

Sureweld 10P-Plus
AWS Class E6010
DCEP (Electrode Positive)
Electrode Imprint Marking: 6010
Code and Specification Data:**
AWS A5.1, ASME SFA 5.1
ABS - AWS A5.1
CWB-CSA 48.1

Description:
Sureweld 10P-Plus is a modified version of the standard 10P
electrode and can be differentiated by its gray coating. It has
also been developed for the pipe welding industry but has a
more consistent burn-off and a more forgiving arc burn. This
provides a better bead profile and sidewall fusion with lower
spatter. Sureweld 10P-Plus will maintain the proper keyhole
in an open root and will produce X-ray quality joints in the
flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-up, and vertical-down
procedures.

Sureweld 10P-Plus is recommended for welding API grades

A25, A, B, and X42 pipe and general structural, ship, barge,
and storage tank fabrication. It may also be used for welding
root passes in higher grade pipe in some circumstances.

Procedure:
Hold a short arc, but do not allow the coating to touch the
molten pool. A slight oscillating motion is recommended in
the horizontal and flat positions. Use a short whipping motion
on vertical and overhead welds, allowing only enough time
out of the crater for the metal to set up. Clean thoroughly
between passes. Vertical down and flat position welds should
be made at approximately the same amperages.

Sureweld 10P

Electrode Imprint Marking: 6010
Code and Specification Data:**
AWS A5.1, ASME SFA 5.1
ABS - AWS A5.1
CWB-CSA 48.1, E41010

Description:
The new red coated Sureweld 10P is an all-position cellulosic
electrode developed for the pipe welding industry in order to
improve ductility in the weld deposit while maintaining the
standard welding characteristics needed for a pipe welding
electrode. Sureweld 10P produces a steady, deep penetrating
arc and maintains the proper keyhole in an open root. This
electrode will produce X-ray quality joints in flat, horizontal,
overhead, vertical-up, and vertical-down procedures.

Sureweld 10P is recommended for welding API grades A25,

A, B, and X42 pipe and general structural, ship, barge, and
storage tank fabrication. It may also be used for welding root
passes in higher grade pipe in some circumstances.

Procedure:
Hold a short arc, but do not allow the coating to touch the
molten pool. A slight oscillating motion is recommended in
the horizontal and flat posistions. Use a short whipping
motion on vertical and overhead welds, allowing only enough
time out of the crater for the metal to set up. Clean thoroughly
between passes. Vertical down and flat position welds should
be made at approximately the same amperages.

Sureweld 710P
AWS Class E7010-P1

DCEP (Electrode Positive)
Electrode Imprint Marking: 7010-P1
Code and Specification Data:**
AWS A5.5, ASME SFA 5.5
CWB-CSA 48.1

Description:
Sureweld 710P is an all-position cellulosic electrode that is
especially suited for welding high strength pipe. It produces
the consistent, deep penetration required to maintain a proper
keyhole when vertical-down welding in open root pipe joints.
X-ray quality joints can be produced with Sureweld 710P
using flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-up, and vertical-
down welding procedures.

Sureweld 710P is recommended for welding API grades X46,

X52, and X56 pipe. It may also be used for welding root
passes in higher grade pipe in some circumstances.
 Procedure:
Hold a short arc, but do not allow the coating to touch the
molten pool. A slight oscillating motion is recommended in
the horizontal and flat posistions. Use a short whipping
motion on vertical and overhead welds, allowing only enough
time out of the crater for the metal to set up. Clean thoroughly
between passes. Vertical down welds should be made at
approximately the same amperages as recommended for the
flat position.
