certanium 701?

I have been given some of these electrodes and was wondering if anyone knows what AWS designation they have.
Or what brand they are. Any help is appreciated.

I just thumbed thru the Certanium Maintenance Welding Guide and cannot find AWS designations anywhere in it. 701 is an all position SMAW electrode for mild steel. It may be similar to E6011 judging by the application description ..."fast freezing...easily welds through oil, grease, and contaminants virtually eliminating pinholes ans porosity." (Just remember, the quotes are not mine! :)

Anyway the manufacturer is Certanium Alloys & Research in Cleveland,Ohio and the number in this guide is 1-216-391-8300, and Customer Service is 1-800-587-4937.

Hope this helps,
