10016 is a 100KSI strength rod, all position, low hydrogen. Might be able to bake them out, like 7018, if you know the manufacturer and can find the recommended bake out procedure. Would not use for anything critical without proper bakeout, if they were stored improperly. Also, do not use with standard structural steel. These are designed for welding high strength steels, and you may experience cracking issues if used with normal A36 structural material.

10016 is in the same family as 7016. 7016 is used more commonly overseas. It has slightly better penetration than 7018, and is slightly harder to control the puddle, but otherwise is similar in most respects. I'd expect 10016 rods to behave similarly.
