A principal reason is that E6010 has good penetration for a complete root pass. The bulk of the weld is then made with a higher-tensile electrode.

Also E-7010 is good for root pass (Including a hot pass)penetration, and very fast welding down hill. You have to make a revision of your procedure (WPS)
