E7018 1/8" (3.2mm) Low Hydrogen Stick Welding Electrodes – 5 lb Pack

(Priced per pound, Sold as a 5lb. Pack)

E7018 is the most efficient general-purpose, iron powder — low hydrogen electrode used for welding carbon steels, free-machining steels, and low alloy steels with a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi.

E7018 has a very good deposition rate, providing a quiet steady arc with low spatter and medium penetration. Weld deposits are of X-ray quality with easy slag removal, exceptional mechanical properties and a smooth uniform bead appearance.

E7018 has excellent operator appeal and may be used in any position with AC or DC (reverse polarity).

Ideal For:

• Structural welding
• Mild steel fabrication
• High-strength, low-hydrogen applications
• Clean, smooth welds with minimal spatter

Storage Tip:
E7018 electrodes should be kept dry or stored in a rod oven to maintain low hydrogen properties.
