E7018 Low-Hydrogen Welding Electrode
The E7018 is a low-hydrogen, iron-powder stick electrode engineered for heavy-duty structural, pipeline, and thick-steel applications. Its specialised flux coating minimises hydrogen in the weld metal, preventing hydrogen-induced cracking and embrittlement. With a 70,000 psi tensile strength, deep penetration, and excellent crack resistance, it is the standard choice for high-stress joints. Because it readily absorbs atmospheric moisture, it must be stored in a rod oven at 120°C–150°C.
