There has been a lot of number thrown out on rods without anyone talking
about the polarity the rod should be run on. A 6010 and 7018 rod is a DC
rod run with the electrode holder on the + side which is reverse polarity.
A 6011 is an AC rod.
That is the first thing you need to get right.
I worked and welded on nuclear powerhouses for years and one think you won't
see is pipe
welding with a wire feed welder. Tig and stick is it so don't think stick
welding is gone by the wayside
