Technical Features
- AWS E7018 Classification: Meets the E7018 standard, confirming a minimum tensile strength of 84,000 PSI for reliable, code-compliant welds on mild steel.
- Low-Hydrogen Electrode Coating: Reduces moisture-related hydrogen content in the weld zone, directly minimizing the risk of cracking and weld bead peeling.
- AC/DC Compatibility (100–140 Amps): Operates on both smaller amperage DC welders and higher amperage AC machines, broadening compatibility across common job-site power sources.
- All-Position Welding Capability: Rated for use in all positions, allowing flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welds without requiring an electrode change.
- Suitable for Difficult Base Metals: Engineered to weld cold-rolled steels prone to porosity and hardenable steels where no preheat treatment is applied, reducing the need for pre-weld preparation.
- 1/8 in. Diameter x 14.6 in. Length: Standard electrode sizing compatible with conventional SMAW electrode holders used in field and shop environments.
Applications
- Field Erection: Low-hydrogen formulation supports structural integrity in field conditions where controlled environments are not available.
- Steel Structures and Frames: 84,000 PSI tensile strength meets the mechanical demands of load-bearing structural steel fabrication.
- Trailer Hitches and Chassis: Suitable for high-stress automotive and transport components requiring sound, crack-resistant welds.
- Cold-Rolled and Hardenable Steels: Addresses porosity and cracking challenges on steels that present difficulty with conventional electrodes.
