Forney® E7018 is a low hydrogen, electrode recommended for welding applications involving structural steel, construction, pressure vessels, boilers, pipes, bridges, power plants, naval and other high-strength steels where hydrogen control is imperative. This electrode displays a stable arc, smooth and finely rippled bead pattern and easy slag removal.
E7018 mild steel "Low hydrogen" welding electrodes easily produces quality results on smaller amperage DC or higher amperage AC welders
E7018 mild steel "Low hydrogen" welding electrodes easily produces quality results on smaller amperage DC or higher amperage AC welders
Suitable for all positions on hardenable steels where no preheat is used and on cold-rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod
The low hydrogen content reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material
