Reply:the + is an improved arc and easier slag removal.

Reply:They are both E6010 rods but the 5P+ is just Lincoln's own recipe, ESAB even offers a 10P.
Reply:5p+ was developed for open root welding. It has very good arc characteristics.UA Local 598
Reply:I am not sure if the box and the can are the same electrode.  I have only been buying 50lb and 10lb cans, Since technically I am now a hobby welder and no longer an employed welder.  The 10lbers are 7018.  I don't have a oven to store them in.
Reply:I thought $40 seemed high for a 10lb. can of 5p+.50lb. can was $180.Is this the going rate?Miller a/c-d/c Thunderbolt XLMillermatic 180 Purox O/ASmith Littletorch O/AHobart Champion Elite

Reply:Around here the home improvement stores don't sell 6010, but they do sell Lincoln 6011, 6013 and 7018-AC.  To buy 6010, or any other kind of electrode around here, you have to go to the welding supply shop.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
