E60 Welding Rod Yield Strength. Electrodes or welding rods are usually named like E6010 or E6011. This code provides for weld-ing with the shielded metal arc welding SMAW gas Structural Welding CodeSheet Steel 1.
The outer coating of an electrode helps in keeping the welding arc steady protects the molten metal from exposure to oxygen and nitrogen and also the cooling rate. Tensile strength - 60000 psi Yield strength - 48000 psi Elongation - 22 min All position Slag is thin and easily removable. Matching strength filler metal options see discussion about undermatching below.
520 Tensile ksi MPa Yield Strength Weld is 3 ksi 20 MPa greater Weld is equivalent.
Suited for structural ship building and repair rail cars piping pressure vessel fittings boilers and general fabrication.

When a weld is in shear we cannot longer use the tensile strength of the filler metal to determine the strength of the weld.
