S-10016.G can be used for welding of high tensile steel, such as pressure vessels, penstock and bridges. Its workability and X-ray properties are superb in all positions. Good toughness of all-weld metal. Extremely low hydrogen content and good crack resistibility.

Classification:
AWS A5.5/ASME SFA5.5 E10016-G
EN 757 55 0 B 1 2

Mechanical properties:
Yield strength 710 N/mm2
Tensile strength 762 N/mm2
Elongation 24%
Impact value 110J / 0ºC

 

Probably junk unless they were too hot to touch when he handed them to you, or they were new in a sealed can.

... Anyone care to correct me??

 

Still in the sealed can, but I'm afraid to open it because I don't have a rod oven. Ebay?

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.

Yeah, they seem neat to have but for my purposes 6011 and 6013 seem to be the best rods.


Thanks!

their great for welding up T-1 steels. I have some in the rod oven in the back for welding up cracks in murray lowbeds when the need arises. not very often though.
