Westward 20YD12 5/32" AWS E6011 Electrode
Westward 20YD12 is a carbon steel welding electrode classified AWS E6011 with a 5/32 inch diameter and 14 inch length. The 5 lb tube supplies general purpose stick welding consumables for maintenance and fabrication tasks.
Suitable for AC or DC polarity on carbon steel
This electrode suits welders who need deep penetration on dirty, rusted or painted carbon steel using AC or DC power sources. It is not for stainless steel, aluminium or other non ferrous alloys, nor for applications requiring low hydrogen deposit specifications.
AWS E6011 classification
The AWS E6011 designation confirms a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 PSI and a cellulose potassium coating for all position welding. This single specification determines whether the rod matches the mechanical requirements of your welding procedure.

Questions about this item
Does the 5 lb tube contain only the 5/32" carbon-steel E6011 electrodes or are any accessories included?
The 5 lb tube holds the 14" carbon-steel electrodes classified AWS E6011; no extra accessories are packed inside.
When should I pick the 5/32" diameter over other available sizes?
Choose the 5/32" rods when the joint thickness and amperage range match that diameter; thinner or thicker plates need a different size.
What does the 60,000 PSI tensile strength mean for a finished weld?
It indicates the deposited weld metal can withstand 60,000 PSI of pulling force before breaking, assuming proper technique and joint preparation.
