It has very good usability that enables it to have stable arc low spatter removal of slag is easy and performs all position welding. Esab 7018 is designed to help you get the job done.

8 indicates the coating penetration and current type used. 7018 has a very good deposition rate providing a quiet steady arc with. Ideal for maintenance and general repair applications. 1 indicates in what welding positions it can be used.

Esab 7018 electrodes are perfect for general fabrication and welding offering consistent performance and welder appeal. See classification table above x indicates what alloys are in this electrode. 7014 s yield strength is 67 700 psi while its elongation is 2 to 29 4 minimum the third number 1 in 7014 indicates that you can use this rod in all four positions the last digit of 4 however signifies the electrode coating and also the type of power supply that you can use for such welding rod. It is a mild steel rod that is coated with a low hydrogen iron based flux compound that vaporizes to shield the molten weld bead from contamination by air and moisture.

Welding rods aws e7018 is a low hydrogen potassium iron powder coated carbon steel electrode. 7018 is the most effi cient general purpose iron powder low hydrogen electrode used for welding carbon steels free machining steels and low alloy steels with minimum yield strength of 50 000 psi. Measured in thousands of pounds per square inch. The ultimate guide to welding rod sizes and classifications including the 7018 6013 6011 and 6010 welding rods.

A simple electrode for the price conscious fabricator. Their deposition rate is the highest among all the low hydrogen electrode types. The e7048 class is similar to the e7018 type but designed for downhill applications only. The e7018 is a versatile welding rod frequently used for low and medium carbon steel welding.

Also referred to as a low hydrogen rod this electrode has a flux coating with a very low hydrogen content allowing a minimal amount of hydrogen into the weld puddle the molten weld beads are protected from contamination moisture and hydrogen in the atmosphere by the iron containing powder. The iron powder in the coating increases the deposited rate. However they can be used in a horizontal and flat position. E7018 x e indicates that this is an electrode 70 indicates how strong this electrode is when welded.

The covering of the e7028 electrode is quite thick and contains a high iron powder content.
