E6027
AWS A5.1 Class E6027
USA 6027 is a heavy iron powder, iron oxide coated electrode developed to provide maximum deposition
efficiency and deep penetration at higher speeds. It is particularly suited for welding flat, deep groove joints as
well as horizontal butt and fillet welds. USA 6027 weld deposits exhibit exceptional ductility, high impact strength and easy slag removability. This electrode provides easy operation and excellent restarting capability making it suitable for intermittent welding. USA 6027 may be used with AC or DC (straight or reverse polarity).
Applications:
USA 6027 electrodes are used for the welding of
ship hulls, bridges, structural steels, railroad cars, earthmoving equipment and pressure vessels or pipes that have been poisoned for horizontal welding.
