ED010283 - Fleetweld 5P+ E6010 Stick Electrode 1/8" 50lb Can

Fleetweld 5P+ E6010: The Pipe Welder's Choice

Lincoln Electric's Fleetweld 5P+ is a high-cellulose mild steel stick electrode designed for the most demanding welding positions and conditions. Classified as AWS E6010, this electrode is engineered to deliver deep penetration and a forceful arc, making it exceptional for open root passes in pipe fabrication. The ED010283 package contains 50 lbs of 1/8" (3.2mm) rods, hermetically sealed to maintain freshness and performance.

The Fleetweld 5P+ is characterized by its "light grey" coating which signifies the improved chemical composition over the traditional red-coated 5P. This formulation results in less spatter, better arc starting, and a more stable arc, especially when using DC+ polarity. It excels in the vertical-down position, allowing welders to lay down stringer beads with precision and speed. The slag is thin and easily removable, often curling up on its own, which simplifies multi-pass welding sequences.

Technical specifications include a tensile strength range of 60-70 ksi and excellent Charpy V-Notch impact properties. It is compatible with a wide range of steels, including ASTM A36, A106, and API 5L grades. For welders seeking a rod that combines the digging power of a 6010 with enhanced control and finish, the Fleetweld 5P+ is the superior option available at Welders Supply.
