3/32 In. D X 14.6 In. L E7018 Mild Steel Welding Rods 84000 Psi 5 Lb 1 Pk

Forney E7018 low hydrogen stick welding electrodes are designed for mild steel welding applications where consistent quality and hydrogen control are essential. These electrodes produce strong, reliable welds on structural steel, construction projects, pressure vessels, boilers, pipes, bridges and power plants. The low hydrogen composition significantly reduces the risk of cracking and peeling, making them ideal for hardenable steels and cold-rolled steels that are prone to excessive porosity with conventional rods.

The E7018 electrodes work equally well in all positions—flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead—giving you the flexibility to tackle jobs from any angle. Made in the USA, these rods deliver consistent performance with a smooth, finely rippled bead pattern and easy slag removal, so you can focus on the weld itself rather than managing the electrode.

Features and Benefits

• Low Hydrogen Composition: Reduces cracking and peeling while maintaining strength in every weld, especially important for high-strength steels where hydrogen control is critical.
• Multi-Position Capability: Suitable for flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead welding, providing versatility across a wide range of projects.
• Smooth Bead Pattern and Easy Slag Removal: Displays a finely rippled bead pattern for consistent, quality results with minimal cleanup required.
• Made in the USA: American-manufactured electrodes ensure consistent quality and reliable performance on every job.
• Versatile Applications: Ideal for structural steel, construction, field erections, steel frames, trailer hitches, chassis and other demanding applications.
