OVERVIEW

Get the Job Done with Hobart 335A E6011 Electrodes

When you are out in the field or working in the shop on a repair job, you don't always have the luxury of working with brand-new, clean steel. That is where the Hobart 335A E6011 stick electrode shines. Known as a "fast-freeze" rod, this electrode is a staple in every welder's arsenal because of its incredible versatility and forgiving nature. If you need to weld through rust, paint, dirt, or galvanized coatings, the Hobart 335A has the digging power to burn through impurities and fuse the metal securely. It is the ultimate problem-solver for farm repairs, trailer maintenance, and general fabrication projects.

One of the standout features of the Hobart 335A is its exceptional performance on AC welders. Many entry-level "buzz box" welders run on AC, and some electrodes struggle to maintain a steady arc on these machines. Hobart has engineered the 335A to run smoothly on AC, providing a stable arc that doesn't constantly extinguish, while still offering the option to run on DC+ if you have a more advanced rig. This makes it a perfect choice for hobbyists, farmers, and professional welders alike who need a reliable rod that works with whatever machine is available.

This 5/32-inch version is great for thicker materials where you need to lay down more metal and get deep fusion. Because it is an all-position electrode, you can use it to weld flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead without changing rods. The quick-freezing puddle stays where you put it, helping you bridge gaps and manage difficult fit-ups. Packaged in a convenient 5 lb plastic pack, these electrodes are easy to store and transport. The plastic container protects the rods from humidity and damage in your toolbox or truck, ensuring they are fresh and ready to burn whenever you strike an arc.

Why Choose Hobart 335A?

  • Busts Through Rust: Don't waste hours grinding; weld right through dirty or coated metal.
  • AC Ready: Runs beautifully on standard AC welding machines.
  • All-Position: Tackle vertical and overhead welds with confidence.
  • Durable Pack: The reusable plastic pack keeps your rods safe and dry.

FAQ

The Hobart 335A is classified as an AWS E6011 electrode.

Yes, the Hobart 335A is designed primarily for use with AC power sources, but it also operates well on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive).

Yes, E6011 electrodes like the Hobart 335A have deep penetrating characteristics that make them excellent for welding through rust, paint, dirt, and galvanized coatings.

These electrodes have a diameter of 5/32 inch (4.0 mm).

The Hobart 335A is an all-position electrode, suitable for Flat, Horizontal, Vertical Up, Vertical Down, and Overhead welding.

They come in a 5 lb (2 kg) resealable plastic pack, which helps protect the electrodes from moisture and physical damage.

As an E60xx class electrode, it offers a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi.

E6011 cellulosic electrodes generally do not require oven storage like low-hydrogen rods. They actually need a small amount of moisture to function correctly. Storing them in the provided plastic pack at room temperature is usually sufficient.
