Technical Features
- AWS E7018 Classification: Meets the E7018 low hydrogen electrode standard, producing welds with a tensile strength of 84,000 PSI for structurally reliable joints.
- Dual Current Compatibility (AC/DCEP): Rated for both AC and DCEP operation across a 100140 amp range, allowing use with a broad selection of smaller DC or higher amperage AC welding machines.
- Low Hydrogen Formulation: Reduces the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in the weld zone, supporting sound, defect-resistant welds on mild steel.
- Shallow Penetration Profile: Controlled, shallow penetration minimizes burn-through risk on thinner mild steel sections while maintaining consistent bead quality.
- 1/8 in. Diameter 15.2 in. Length: Standard sizing compatible with common electrode holders and suitable for a wide range of joint configurations.
- Boxed Packaging (1 lb): Pre-measured 1 lb pack simplifies inventory management and jobsite portability.
Applications
- Field erection of steel structures
- Structural frames and fabrications
- Trailer hitches and chassis fabrication
- General mild steel fabrication across all joint types
