• WELDCOTE 1/8 7018 ELCTRODE 10#
• Weldcote Metals E7018 is the most efficient general purpose, iron powder-low hyd
• Particularly suitable for welding of high strength low-alloy steels.
• 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 50000 psi. 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. 7018 Electrodes are used for many ASTM specifications and low hydrogen levels needed to prevent issues like cracking. Use the drag technique along the weld joint. A 3 deg to 5 deg angle is ideal for vertical up welding and using a slight weaving technique
