Excellent breakdown. You answered each question that I had. Great video. Thank you.

Good breakdown, that tiny difference is of consequence more relative to the specific welder you are using than the weld of the individual rods.

Obviously with 6011 you get a benefit from the ability to run on AC as well as DC and the reason for that comes up next with the specific coating on the rods. In a nutshell sodium combined with the cellulose requires a higher open circuit voltage to keep the arc ignited than does the cellulose potassium based coating of the 6011.

The ability to maintain the arc with the lower open circuit voltage is what gives the 6011 Rod the properties to run on AC current. If you can picture a sine wave the alternating current goes from DC plus to DC minus and as it does so it passes through zero current at that point low open circuit voltage exists and a 6010 rod would not stay ignited like a 6011 rod. Also some DC only machines do not provide enough open circuit voltage to keep the 6010 arc lit. So, IMPO, carry 6011 that is more forgiving than 6010. Lastly, and technically, at the same amperage settings, with the same exact arc gap the 6011 rod will provide (depending on application) either the ability or detriment of an ever so slightly reduction in penetration when run on AC current simply based on the constantly reversing direction of electron/heat flow to parent material.

I’m a full time welder and run an older Miller shop master 300 all day. We use both 6010 and 6011 in the shop as well as 6013 and 7018. I find that the 6010 digs in deeper than 6011 on penetration. But the 6011 flows a little better resulting in a smoother bead. I really like the 6011. It’s a nice rod that does a lot and with care you can even cream nice looking bead.

6010 is for dc. 6011 has potassium added to create an ionic field around the weld puddle/rod for AC alternating current to, well, alternate. Current jumps from +-+-+-. The ionic field makes this transition smoother. That makes 6011 and 6010 able to weld in DC while AC needs 6011 (with the ionic field)

Great explanation on the differences between these two rods. Short, succinct, and to the point. Liked & subbed! 👍

Thanks for explaining that
Been using 6010 for years and my father in law has some 6011 and I noticed it worked better in his machine and had a hell of a time with my 6010. AC DC or DC only, big difference

Can you do a video of using those rods? It would be nice to see them in action.

danielchambers

Good video. More detail on how they actually run would be nice.

"Industry definition: just run it, hurry up" lol perfectly true

And on a sidenote 6010 will NOT run with most (if not all) consumer grade boxes. 6010 requires a high voltage to create and maintain an arc.
6011 will run because it has potassium and that allows for an easier arc .

Hobart has a 6010 rod that is capable of running on AC or DC not just DC like most 6010. Personally I don’t really like 6010 though, it’s a violent digging electrode where 6011 gets good penetration as well but is more controllable and produces a nicer weld. One thing 6010 will do better is burn right through rust paint and even oil and produce a decent weld where other rods would struggle with the dirty or contaminated surface

I had to purchase 15 Lincoln MP 210 for a temporary lab. We tried to run 6010 on these machines and it absolutely would not run. We switch to 6011 and it welded like a dream. There's more of a difference in people realize.

My welding teacher had me use 6011 instead of 6010 for a root pass the other day, and he told me they run pretty much the same… needless to say I was more than a little frustrated when they did not, in fact, run the same.

If both 6010 and 6011 are available and I have an AC/DC welder, how do I choose between them? What's the difference between 6011-AC and 6011-DC? What effective difference does sodium vs potassium cellulose flux make?
