Package: 20kg. Carton

E7018 is an iron powder low-hydrogen type electrode for all-position welding of mild and low alloy steels. The easily controlled arc of E7018 makes it easy to use on DC polarity.
E7018 offers excellent mechanical properties, high efficiency and high impact values at -30° C. It is also easy to strike and restrike.

 

ADVANTAGE 
  High deposition rates
  Easy slag removal
  Excellent crack resistance and X-ray performance
  Flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little spatter
  Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements

   

 

E7018 is a multi-purpose electrode with excellent operator appeal. E7018 is excellent for welding of mild and low alloy steel, which is used for bridges, buildings, ship building, pressure vessels, etc. E7018 can also be used for the construction or repair of earth moving, farm and mining equipment.

 

CONFORMANCE 
AWS A5.1: E7018

ASME SFA-5.1
ABS: 3YH10
LR: 3YH15

 

GUIDELINES FOR USE 
  All water, rust and oil should be completely removed from base material to prevent cracking and blowholes. Backstep method should be applied to prevent blowholes and pits during starting. Arc length should be kept as short as possible during welding.

  If weaving is required, the width should not exceed 3x the diameter of the electrode.
