Anyone used 7p+?

admin

wondering what it brings to the table.
Reply:Lincoln's website says it's a 7010 rod.  I've never used any, but I'd expect it to run a lot like 5P (6010 rod).  It has a stronger filler metal (70ksi versus 60ksi).Dynasty200DX w/coolmate1MM210MM VintageESAB miniarc161ltsLincoln AC225Victor O/A, Smith AW1ACutmaster 81IR 2475N7.5FPRage3Jancy USA1019" SBAEAD-200LE
Reply:Here's a stupid question, why the hell would they call 6010 5p, but 7010 7p? lol, just don't seem right...
Reply:I haven't personally run it, but I've seen it used by boilermakers for rooting boiler tubes. Being a **10 rod, I would expect that it has the fast-freeze characteristics of a 6010.
Reply:I don't know about 7p+, but there's a 70plus. Used mostly on pipelines, 6010 5p+ for the root, and 70plus for hot, fill and cap. I'll do some more research on 7p+.
Reply:From what I see on Lincoln's site, E7010-P1 has the same product number as E7010-G, which has been known as Shield-Arc HYP for a long time.  I see that E6010 has now been changed to 6P+ instead of 5P+.  Back when we were pipelining, You could weld out with 6010 on X60 or below grade pipe, but above X60, you could use 3/32" 6010 for the stringer, then you had to run the hot pass, fill and cap with HYP.  The reason for this was they didn't (and as far as I know still don't) make 3/32" 7010 (HYP).  Some people don't like the way 7010 runs, or even 6010 for that matter.  Personally, I'm not a fan of the old Fleetweld 180 (6011).  I just looked, and they also still have a 6010 listed as both a 5P and a 5P+.  It's kinda confusing really.  They have different product numbers than the listing for 6P+.
Reply:we use alot of 5p and 5p+ but the lws said that 7p+ was sortta replacing hyp rod. just wondered how relevant hyp rod was in the first place anymore and if 7p+ was some sort of new downhill dream rod.
