E7018 carbon steel welding rod

Classification:

AWS A5.1 E7018

ISO 2560-B-E4918A

GB/T 5117 E5018

Welding Rods AWS E7018 is a low hydrogen iron potassium powder coated carbon steel electrode. Iron dust in the coating increases the deposit rate. It has very good usability that allows it to have a stable arc, little spatter, slag removal is easy and welds in all positions. The deposited metal has good mechanical properties offering very good low temperature toughness.

AWS E7018 welding rod (basic iron powder type electrode) is suitable for the welding of carbon steel and low alloy steel structure, such as Gr.50, and so on.

Notes:

1. The electrode must be preheated at the temperature of 350°C for 1 hour. Preheat the rod whenever it is used.

2. The impurities such as rust, oil stains and moisture must be cleared off of the work piece.

3. Short arc is required to perform welding. Narrow weld path is preferred.
