Re: [MW:10626] Re: 10607] deep penitrent electrodes

Deep penetration means that molten metal have the ability to fill out quickly into the side of root wall and slightly below the root. a clear reason is groove design for pipe welding requires molten metal that having the ability to fill out the gap which is only 2mm and then forms its internal reinforcement. we are fully aware that the molten metal in root shall have those characteristics to avoid one of the weld defect that commonly occurs in root side i.e. lack of penetration and incomplete penetration. Cellulose produces a large amount of hydrogen which can raises arc voltage and allows the E6010 to have of such characteristics. penetration.

Dear sir,

i am very much happy to get reply for my question,
sir i got reply for my question but the answers i am getting are out of point......


it means that



i am getting the answers for - what are EXX10 electrodes??? and why they are calling cellulose electrodes??????



but my question was this why E6010 electrodes are called as deep penetration electrodes & why they are using for welding of root only?????


Now i will give an example to get clarity for my question!!!

(i.e) for welding of Gr.x70 pipe in pipeline laying 
As per WPS we follow Electrodes are

E6010 is used for root & E 8010G (or) E8010P1 is used for other passes respectively...

here smys of Gr.x70 pipe is 70,000psi (appx)

& UTS of E6010 electrode is 60,000 psi & E8010G (or) E8010P1 electrode is 80,000 psi

 we use E8010G (or) E8010P1 electrode to weld Gr.x70 pipe in pipeline which is acceptable because strength of electrode is greater than that strength of pipe.

now

coming for the same analysis for E6010  electrodes
then the above rule is violated & which is not acceptable in the case of welding.


but we prefer to weld (root) with  E6010 electrodes, Because these are said to be known as "DEEP PENITRANT ELECTRODES" & specially designed for root only.



NOTE:
  Here this case fallows for all Grades like Gr.x70,65,60,52,B etc......



now here i am interested to know that " E6010 electrodes are said to be known as "DEEP PENITRANT ELECTRODES"??? Why these electrodes are specially designed for root? what type of speciallity's are containing these electrodes when compared to the other potassium, cellulose electrodes? Is any differentiation absorbed in their chemical composition " ?



Now i hope that i have given clarity in my question, if any doubts in my question plz give me mail so that i will try to explain my question more briefly???

Dear experts i kindly request u people to help me to know the answers for my question!!!!!! i will be waiting for Ur's valuable answers for my question?

Cellulosic electrodes have coatings or cores with high cellulosei
contents providing deep penetration and hence are  termed as Deep
penetration electrodes.
The coating of these electrodes contains organic materials that turn
into gases in the arc. About 30% of the coating weight is cellulose.
In some countries, paper pulp and wood powder are added to the coating
in certain ratios to reduce the amount of pure cellulose. These
organic compounds in the coating decompose in the arc to from carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which increase the arc tension
and thus, the welding arc becomes stronger and harder. Compared with
other types of electrodes, with the same current values, a 70% deeper
penetration is obtained with cellulosic electrodes.
