AWS E6016
Mild Steel Electrodes
 Description:
E6016 is of carbon steel electrodes with low hydrogen
potassium type coating .The weld mental has superior
mechanical properties and high crack resistant properties
It can be welded on both AC and DC. Welding can be done
in all position. When used AC, the stability is inferior
a little to that used DC.
Application:
Used to weld the important low carbon steel structure
and low alloy steel structure, such as 09Mn2 etc.

Note:
Before welding, it is necessary to clean the work
piece and remove the  impurities
such as oil ,grease rust and moisture, bake the electrode
at the temperature of about 300 degree centigrade for
one hour. The welding must be carried out under short
arc and is suitable for narrow path.
