Product Description
Low‑hydrogen, all‑position electrodes for structural, fabrication, and repair welding
Weldcote Metals E7018 3/32‑inch carbon steel electrodes are designed for high‑strength, crack‑resistant welds on carbon steels, free‑machining steels, and low‑alloy steels. The smaller 3/32‑inch diameter offers excellent control, making it ideal for thinner materials, precision work, and applications where bead appearance and arc stability matter. The 10‑lb package is well‑suited for fabrication shops, field welders, and maintenance operations.
Product description
These electrodes feature an iron‑powder, low‑hydrogen coating that produces a smooth, quiet arc with low spatter and medium penetration. Weld deposits are X‑ray quality, offering clean bead appearance, easy slag removal, and strong mechanical properties. They operate on AC or DC (reverse polarity) and perform reliably in all welding positions, including vertical and overhead. This makes them a versatile choice for structural steel, pressure pipe, equipment repair, and general fabrication.
