Description: The
new red coated Sureweld 10P is an all-position cellulosic electrode developed
for the pipe welding industry
in order to improve ductility in the weld deposit while maintaining the standard
welding characteristics
needed for a pipe welding electrode. Sureweld 10P produces a steady, deep
penetrating arc and
maintains the proper keyhole in an open root. This electrode will produce
X-ray quality joints in flat, horizontal,
overhead, vertical-up, and vertical-down procedures. Sureweld
10P is recommended for welding API grades A25, A, B, and X42 pipe and general
structural, ship, barge,
and storage tank fabrication. It may also be used for welding root passes
in higher grade pipe in some
circumstances. Procedure:
Hold a short arc, but do not allow
the coating to touch the molten pool. A slight oscillating motion is
recommended in the horizontal and flat
positions. Use a short whipping motion on vertical and overhead
welds, allowing only enough time out
of the crater for the metal to set up. Clean thoroughly between passes.
Vertical down and flat position welds
should be made at approximately the same amperages. Continued
