New NCPWB Technical Bulletin Explains When To Use E6010 Welding Electrodes

January 22, 2025

The National Certified Pipe Welding Bureau (NCPWB) has released a new Technical Bulletin highlighting when to use E6010 welding electrodes, and when their use should be limited. While E6010 electrodes make it easier to make a good root pass, they introduce hydrogen into the weld creating a risk of cracking. The bulletin explains how best to mitigate this issue so that every weld is a quality weld.
