Mild Steel 7018 Electrode Rod (5 lb) 1/8 in.

The Weldcote Metals E7018 is the most efficient general-purpose, iron powder-low hydrogen electrode, engineered for welding carbon, free-machining, and low alloy steels with a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi. It delivers X-ray quality weld deposits, exceptional mechanical properties, and a smooth, uniform bead, providing a quiet, steady arc with low spatter and medium penetration. With excellent operator appeal, the 7018 can be used in all positions with AC or DC (reverse polarity). It meets many ASTM specifications for low-hydrogen levels, making it ideal for critical applications like process piping, pressure vessels, structural steel, and shipbuilding.
