Product Description
Weldcote Metals E7018 5/32 In. Mild Steel Welding Rods 10lbWeldcote Metals 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.
- Weldcote Metals 7018 has a very good deposition rate, providing a quiet steady arc with low spatter and medium penetration. Weld deposits are of X-ray quality and easy slag removal, exceptional mechanical properties and a smooth uniform bead appearance.
- Weldcote Metals 7018 has excellent operator appeal and may used in any position with AC or DC (reverse polarity).
- 7018 electrodes are used for many ASTM specifications and low hydrogen levels needed to prevent issues like crackling. More specific applications include process piping, cold rolled steels such as found in heavy machinery fabrications, fired and unfired pressure vessels, shop and field welding of bridges and structural steels, case steels, shipbuilding, just about any medium carbon, low alloy steel where the welds are subject to X-ray inspection.
- Use the drag technique along the weld join. A 3 to 5 degree angle is ideal for vertical up welding and using a slight weaving technique. Please note that procedures may vary with a change in positon, base metals, filler metals, equipment and other changes.
- 7018 AC is a low-hydrogen welding electrode that you can use in all positions on low, medium and high carbon steels.
