E6010 - Good usability characteristics in all weld positions. They are characterized by a deeply penetrating, forceful, spray type arc. The slag is very thin and easily removed. The majority of applications are on mild steel. Typical applications include building and bridge structures, storage tanks, pipelines and shipbuilding. These electrodes are also suited for working on materials which are rusty, painted, galvanized of other "dirty" work surfaces.

E6011 - Designed to copy the usability characteristic and mechanical properties of the electrodes using alternating current power sources. Penetration, arc action, slag, and appearance are very similar to the 6010 electrodes. In addition to the coating ingredients found in the 6010 electrode small amounts of calcium and potassium are present to make it suitable for AC. Typical applications are the same as the 6010 electrode.
