Lincoln Electric Shield-Arc 70+ ED012849 E8010-G Welding Electrodes 5/32″ x 14″ 50 lb Steel Can

Condition: New, unused welding electrodes in original Lincoln Electric 50 lb metal storage can. Cans show cosmetic wear, dents, scratches, surface oxidation, and some rust from storage and handling, as pictured. Factory seals and storage conditions have not been verified. Electrode condition and moisture content have not been independently tested. Sold individually — price is per one (1) 50 lb can, not all four cans pictured.

Detailed Description

The Lincoln Electric Shield-Arc 70+ ED012849 is a professional-grade, cellulosic-coated, low-alloy steel stick welding electrode classified as AWS E8010-G. Designed for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), this electrode is commonly used for pipeline construction, field welding, pipe fabrication, and demanding welding applications that require deep penetration and dependable root-pass performance.

Shield-Arc 70+ electrodes are designed for applications involving carbon steel and certain high-strength, low-alloy steels, particularly in pipeline welding where consistent arc performance and effective penetration are essential.

The E8010-G classification identifies an electrode with an 80,000 PSI minimum specified tensile-strength classification, all-position welding capability, and a high-cellulose sodium-type coating designed for DC electrode-positive operation.

Each metal can contains a labeled 50 lb (22.7 kg) net weight of 5/32-inch diameter, 14-inch-long electrodes. The original rectangular steel container helps protect the rods during storage, transportation, and handling.

This listing is for one individual 50 lb can.

Features

• Genuine Lincoln Electric Shield-Arc 70+ welding consumables.

• AWS E8010-G classification for applications requiring higher-strength weld deposits.

• 5/32-inch (4.0 mm) electrode diameter for pipeline and industrial stick welding.

• 14-inch (350 mm nominal) electrode length.

• Cellulosic electrode coating supports forceful arc action and deep penetration.

• All-position welding capability, including vertical-down pipeline welding when used with a qualified procedure.

• DC electrode-positive (DCEP) welding operation.

• Suitable for pipeline root passes, hot passes, and other passes where specified by the welding procedure.

• Supplied in an original Lincoln Electric metal can with printed identification and traceability markings.

• Made in the USA, according to the manufacturer’s packaging.

Specifications

Applications

Lincoln Electric Shield-Arc 70+ electrodes are used in professional welding environments, including:

• Pipeline construction: Welding of transmission pipelines and field pipeline joints.

• Oil and gas infrastructure: Installation, fabrication, and maintenance of compatible steel pipeline systems.

• Pipe fabrication: Root-pass and fill-pass welding where E8010-G electrodes are specified.

• Industrial construction: Welding of compatible high-strength steel components.

• Field welding: Outdoor construction and repair work using suitable DC stick welding equipment.

• Energy infrastructure: Welding for qualified pipe and steel fabrication procedures.

Compatible Welding Equipment

These electrodes can be used with suitable DC stick welding power sources that provide the required output and adjustable amperage for 5/32-inch E8010-G electrodes.

Potential equipment categories include:

• Lincoln Electric engine-driven welding generators

• Industrial DC stick welders

• Pipeline welding power sources

• Multiprocess welding machines with suitable SMAW capability

• DC inverter welders specifically capable of maintaining stable operation with cellulosic electrodes

Not every inverter or multiprocess machine supports E8010-class electrodes. Confirm manufacturer recommendations, available current, polarity, and welding procedure requirements before use.

Classification and Technical Information

AWS E8010-G designation:

• E: Covered electrode for shielded metal arc welding.

• 80: Minimum specified tensile-strength classification of 80,000 PSI.

• 1: All-position welding.

• 0: High-cellulose sodium-type coating with DCEP operation.

• G: General classification with additional chemical and mechanical requirements defined by the applicable specification and manufacturer.

The package also references AWS A5.5, ASME SFA-5.5, and applicable API-related testing requirements.

The E8010-G classification should not automatically be treated as interchangeable with E6010, E7010, or other E8010 variants. Confirm mechanical properties, weld-metal chemistry, base-metal compatibility, and the applicable welding procedure specification before substitution.

Packaging and Storage Notes

Photographs show original Lincoln Electric steel containers with visible signs of warehouse storage and handling.

The containers have scratches, dents, discoloration, and localized surface rust. The photographs do not establish whether the cans remain hermetically sealed or whether the electrodes have been exposed to moisture.

Because Shield-Arc 70+ is a cellulosic electrode, storage and conditioning requirements differ from those of low-hydrogen electrodes. Follow Lincoln Electric’s product-specific handling guidance; do not apply generic low-hydrogen electrode rebaking procedures.

For critical or code-governed welding applications, verify electrode condition, traceability, storage history, and applicable procedure requirements before use.

Lot and Traceability Information

Visible container markings include:

• Stock Number: ED012849

• Lot Identification: Q1 Lot 8 14217730

• Stamped Code: 2E19 JJCER

These markings can assist with product identification, manufacturing traceability, and quality-control record matching.

The exact production date cannot be reliably established from the visible markings alone. The marking 2E19 may represent an internal production or packaging code, but it should not be interpreted as a confirmed manufacturing date without Lincoln Electric documentation.
