The ProStar 6011 electrode is an
Yield Strength, psi (MPa) 47 (324)
all-position, cellulosic electrode
Tensile Strength, psi (MPa) 62 (428)
designed for AC. It produces an
Elongation in 2" (51 mm) 22%
easily controlled, forceful arc with
deep penetration and a high-quality
weld metal that will pass specification
requirements for radiography. The
ProStar 6011 electrode is used for
welding mild steels such as ASTM * The data contained herein is based on testing performed under standard laboratory conditions. In normal practice,
A-36, A-283, A-284, A-285, A-515, the results obtained may vary depending upon welding parameters, weld metal cooling rate, and the base plate
being joined. The user should always test the electrode prior to its application.
