ED038090 - Murex 6011C Stick Electrodes, 5/32 in, E6011, 40 lb Carton

Industrial Grade E6011 Cellulosic Electrodes

The Murex 6011C is a high-performance cellulosic stick electrode designed for general purpose fabrication and maintenance applications. Conforming to AWS E6011 classification, this electrode is engineered to deliver a forceful, deep-penetrating arc that ensures sound fusion even under less-than-ideal surface conditions. It is particularly effective for welding on base metals that exhibit rust, scale, oil, or light paint, making it a staple in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventories.

With a diameter of 4.0mm (5/32 inch), this electrode is suitable for welding medium to heavy gauge steel plates. The coating formulation provides a fast-freezing weld puddle, which is critical for out-of-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead orientations. This characteristic allows operators to bridge gaps and control the weld pool effectively in difficult joints. The Murex 6011C is optimized for use with AC power sources, offering excellent arc stability where DC power may not be available or where arc blow is a concern, though it performs equally well on DC+ polarity.

Applications for the Murex 6011C include structural steel repair, pipe welding, shipbuilding, and general farm or shop fabrication. Its ability to dig through contaminants reduces the need for extensive pre-weld cleaning, thereby increasing productivity in field operations. The electrode produces a thin, friable slag that is easily removed, revealing a ripple bead profile typical of cellulosic consumables.
