Why is E6010 used for root pass on materials higher than 60,000 psi
Why is E6010 used for root pass on materials higher than 60,000 psi
(OP)
Hi,
Other than ease of penetration, why is E6010 used for root pass on materials higher than 60,000 psi tensile strenght, I thought the strenght of the electrode should be that of the material or higher.
I've seen WPS with E6010 root and 7010 or 7018 fill and cap on a material of 70,000 psi

@ Stanweld; could you please explain what you mean by dillution when E7010 and E8010 is used on 70k and 80k materials, and how the cracking resulting from that is mitigated by the use of E6010 root instead or how the dillution in the former did not happen in or affect the use of E6010 electrode for root bead.
Thanks.
