7018 welding rod, 3/32-in., 5-lbs. - Description

E7018 mild steel Low Hydrogen welding electrodes easily produces quality results on smaller amperage DC or higher amperage AC welders. It is suitable for all positions on hard enable steels where no preheat is used and on cold rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod. The low hydrogen content reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material. Use for field erections, steel structures, frames, trailer hitches and chassis. All position welding, low hydrogen rod for general purpose AC applications requiring low penetration, can also be used on DC+Designed for welding headenable steels and projects involving hard to weld steels including thick sections and restrained joints with cracking issuesNot recommended for use with low open circuit voltage (OCV) power sourcesExcellent for tack welds and out of position weldingIdeal for general fabrication of cold roll steelsEasy to read color coded packaging5 lbs.3/32 in.The Forney 30705 7018 Mild Steel "superweld" Welding Rod is a mild steel, all-position general purpose rod with medium to shallow penetration.
