Technical Features
- AWS E7018 Classification: Confirms a standardized low-hydrogen electrode meeting defined tensile strength requirements, ensuring consistent, code-compliant weld deposits.
- 84,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Delivers structurally sound welds suited to load-bearing mild steel fabrication such as frames, chassis, and structural steel connections.
- Low Hydrogen Formulation: Reduces moisture absorption in the coating, minimizing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in finished weld joints.
- Dual Current Compatibility (AC / DCEP): Operates on both smaller-amperage DC welders and higher-amperage AC machines, broadening compatibility across common job-site equipment.
- 65100 Amp Operating Range: The narrow, controlled amperage band supports precise heat input management on the 3/32 in. electrode diameter.
- Shallow Penetration Profile: Limits burn-through risk on thinner mild steel sections, producing a controlled, clean weld bead.
- 3/32 in. Diameter / 15.2 in. Length: Standard electrode dimensions compatible with conventional electrode holders used in shop and field environments.
Applications
- Field erection of structural steel components
- Steel frames and structural assemblies
- Trailer hitches and chassis fabrication
- General mild steel fabrication of all types
