Böhler FOX CEL+ E6010 Cellulosic Pipe Welding Electrode
Description
E6010 cellulosic electrode for root passes on large-diameter pipe
The Böhler FOX CEL+ is a cellulosic stick electrode classified E6010 under AWS A5.1 and E 38 2 C 2 1 under EN ISO 2560-A. Böhler describes it for vertical-down welding of large-diameter pipelines and recommends it above all for root passes, on DC positive polarity, in both the vertical-down and vertical-up positions. The data sheet credits it with good gap bridging, a powerful arc with good penetration, smooth root passes at high travel speed, and a high safety margin against piping, the hollow bead defect, and against undercut.

Pipe grades and sour-gas use
The data sheet lists S235JR to S355J2G3 structural steels, P235GH and P265GH pressure steels, L210NB to L390NB and L290MB to L390MB line pipe, and API 5L grades A, B, X42, X46, X52 and X56. For the root pass the range extends to L555NB and L555MB, which is API 5L up to X80. Böhler states that FOX CEL+ can be used in sour gas applications, with HIC testing according to NACE TM-02-84, and that SSC test values are available on request.
Using it on a pipeline job
Cellulosic electrodes are not redried; the data sheet says redrying is not allowed, so open packs should be kept as the manufacturer instructs. Current ranges grow with diameter, from 50 to 90 A for the 3/32 in size used on thin walls up to 120 to 180 A at 5/32 in. Root passes on DC positive give deep penetration, while negative polarity is possible where the procedure calls for it. Match the electrode to the welding procedure specification for the line pipe grade, and confirm hot, filler and cover pass electrodes separately, since the same data sheet recommends FOX CEL+ mainly for the root.
Because the product is classified E6010 under AWS A5.1, it also fits procedures that call for a standard E6010 root electrode on carbon steel pipe; confirm the class and the diameter against the welding procedure specification before ordering a quantity for a project.
