Low Hydrogen, Mild Steel Stick Electrodes


E7018 H4R AC, DC+ Theres a long list of reasons why operators are so loyal to Excalibur 7018 MR. They tell us they love the clean puddle, the square coating burn off, the easy all-position handling and the excellent wash-in characteristics. Its a terrific choice for jobs that involve steels with poor weldability. When the job involves critical, out-of-position welding, reach for 7018-1 MR. It offers a beautifully clean weld puddle, uniform slag follow, and superior wash-in with no undercutting. Also great for welding on steels with marginal weldability. 7018-A1 MR low hydrogen electrode is an outstanding choice for all position welding of 0.5% molybdenum low alloy steels of 50Ksi (345 MPa) minimum yield strength. AC? DC? This electrode performs beautifully either way! 7018AC is a great choice for low open circuit voltage AC power sources. Cold restrikes are no problem with this versatile, all-position electrode. A top-choice electrode for welding on thick sections and restrained joints when cracking is an issue. Its also a good call when the project involves hard-to-weld steels. Also offers high deposition rates. Great for jobs on mild steel and some high-strength low-alloy steels. It also tolerates high sulfur and high silicon steels. Higher tensile strength for the stressrelieved properties.
