Lincoln Electric ED030569 1/8 In. E7018 Stick Electrode

The Lincoln 7018 1/8″ Stick Electrode 5 lb. is ideal for joining most hard-to-weld steels. This mild-steel, low-hydrogen electrode has a powdered-iron coating and can be used in steel structures, field erection, plants and rigs. Compatible with high-sulfur steels, low-alloy steels that can harden, high-tensile steels, medium and high carbon steels, cold-rolled steels and free-machining steels. 7018 1/8″ x 14″ 5 lbs All position stick electrode welding sticks, AC or DC Great for low open circuit voltage AC power sources, cold restrikes are no problem Designed for welding mild steel & many low alloy steels Welding with good deposit rates, flat or slightly convex beads have distinct ripples with little spatter Good low current & low open circuit voltage operation General purpose low hydrogen electrode for AC application. Low open circuit voltage operation with limited spatter Helps eliminate the problems of cold restriking Welds in all positions except vertical down.
