current (dc), straight polarity (sp), or reverse polarity (rp))
to be used with the pertinent electrode.
(e) A listing of the types of coatings, welding currents, and
polarity requirements of the fourth (or last) identifying digit
of the electrode is listed below.
(f) The number E6010 identifies an electric welding electrode
with a minimum stress relieved tensile strength of 60,000 psi
(pounds  per  square  inch).
It  can  be  used  to  weld  in  all
positions,  preferably  using  direct  current  reverse  polarity
electricity.
However,  alternating  current  and  direct  current
straight polarity can also be used.
(3) The  electrode  identification
system
for
stainless
steel
arc-welding is set up as follows:
(a) The symbol E indicates electric welding.
(b) The first three digits indicate the American Iron and Steel
Institute type of stainless steel.
(c) The last two digits indicate the current and the welding
position in which it is used.
(d) According to this system, the number E-308-16 identifies a
stainless steel electrode type 308, for use with alternating or
reverse polarity direct current in all welding positions.
