E7014
E7014 is a carbon steel SMAW electrode with rutile iron powder coating. Iron powder in the coating delivers higher deposition efficiency than E6013 for improved welding productivity. Rated at 70ksi tensile strength, it works with both AC and DC and is easy to operate, ideal for efficient welding of medium-thick carbon steel.

E6010
E6010 is a vertical-down welding electrode with high-cellulosic sodium coating, suitable for DC straight polarity.

E6013
E6013 is a carbon steel SMAW electrode with high-titania potassium coating. It provides soft, stable arc and low spatter with attractive rippled weld beads, and excels at thin plate welding.

E316L-16 Stainless Steel Welding Electrode
E316L-16 is a low-carbon covered electrode for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), classified under AWS A5.4. It is primarily used for welding 316L and compatible molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels. Its chromium-nickel-molybdenum weld-metal composition is designed for suitable corrosive service environments. The low carbon limit helps reduce chromium carbide precipitation, while molybdenum contributes to resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion.
