Technical Features
- E7018 Low Hydrogen Electrode: The low hydrogen coating minimizes moisture absorption, reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in finished welds.
- 84,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Delivers high-strength weld deposits suitable for structural and load-bearing mild steel fabrication.
- Dual Current Compatibility (AC / DCEP): Operates on both AC and DC electrode-positive power sources, providing flexibility across smaller and larger welding machines.
- 65100 A Operating Range: The low amperage threshold makes these electrodes accessible on smaller amperage welders while scaling to higher-output AC machines.
- Shallow Penetration Profile: Controlled penetration reduces burn-through risk on thinner mild steel workpieces.
- 3/32 in. Diameter / 14.6 in. Length: Standard electrode sizing compatible with conventional rod holders and stinger setups.
Applications
- Field erection of steel structures
- Structural steel frames
- Trailer hitches and chassis fabrication
- General mild steel fabrication across all joint types
