Description:

AWS E7018 is an iron powder low hydrogen potassium electrode. It is used on both AC and DC in all positions. As the coating contains iron powder, it the highly efficient welding and can reduce welding layers.

Application:
It is suitable for welding carbon structures and low alloy steel structures, such as 16 Mn, etab.

Notes:
1. Electrodes must be baked for 1 hour at 350°C before welding operation.
2. It is essential to clean up rusty, oil scale, water, and impurities on welding parts.
3. Short arc operation is required when welding. The narrow welding track is proper.
4. Electrode is a positive pole when operation on DC.
