7018 Welding Electrode
E7018 is a low-hydrogen, iron powder electrode designed for high-strength, crack-resistant welds with excellent mechanical properties. It offers smooth arc stability, minimal spatter, and superior performance in structural, pipeline, and pressure vessel applications. Ideal for out-of-position welding with easy slag removal and excellent re-strike characteristics.
Why Choose This?
- Unique self-lifting slag for effortless post-weld cleaning
- Exceptional impact notch toughness for superior mechanical performance
- Crack-resistant weld deposits ensuring long-term durability
- Minimal spatter for cleaner, more efficient welding
- Smooth, uniform weld beads with high metal recovery
- Ultra-low diffusible hydrogen content (≤4 ml/100g weld metal) to prevent hydrogen-induced cracking
- Premium-grade packaging to ensure product integrity and minimize transit damage
