E7018 3/16in Premium Arc Stick Electrodes 14in Welding Rod 10-Pound Box

The E7018 Premium Arc Stick Electrodes are designed for high-performance welding of 490 MPa class high-tensile steel in demanding applications. At a size of 3/16-inch, each 14-inch rod is packaged in a 10-pound box with set options of one, two or five packs. Featuring a low-hydrogen, iron powder covering, these electrodes are ideal for use in shipbuilding, bridges, storage tanks, buildings, and industrial machinery. They provide excellent mechanical properties, radiographic soundness, and produce a clean bead with easy slag removal. Designed for DC+ welding, they excel in flat, vertical-up, and overhead positions. For optimal results, the electrodes should be redried at 300-400°C for 1-2 hours before use.
