© COPYRIGHT 2000 THE ESAB GROUP, INC. LESSON III 3.7.4 SUREWELD SW14 (AWS E6011) - This is also a cellulosic all-position electrode that has the arc stabilized to weld with alternating current.  It produces an easily controlled forceful arc with a deep penetration and high quality weld metal that meets specification re- quirements for soundness.  Typical applications include welding of bridges and buildings, piping, ships, pressure vessels and tanks. Typical mechanical properties of the weld metal are: Yield Point - 66,800 psi Tensile Strength - 76,100 psi Elongation (2" Gauge) - 22% Reduction of Area - 56% Charpy V-Notch Impact Resistance -    31 ft-lbs @ -20°F The typical chemical composition of the weld metal is: Carbon 0.10% Phosphorus 0.012% Manganese 0.36% Sulfur 0.016% Silicon 0.15% DEPOSITION RATE DATA:      SW14* Electrode Deposition Diameter Amperage Efficiency, % (Lbs/Hr.) 1/8" 120 70.7 2.3 5/32" 150 77.0 3.7 3/16" 180 73.4 4.1 7/32" 210 74.2 5.0 1/4" 250 71.9 5.0 *Note:  Efficiencies do not include stub loss
