1/8 In. D X 15.2 In. L E7018 Mild Steel Welding Rods 84000 Psi 1 Lb 1 Pk

The Forney 30801 E7018 is a low-hydrogen mild steel welding electrode designed for applications where hydrogen control and crack resistance are critical. This stick electrode produces quality welds on both smaller amperage DC and higher amperage AC welders, making it versatile across many welding machines. It is suitable for all positions and works on hardenable steels without preheat, as well as cold-rolled steels that typically exhibit porosity with conventional rod.

E7018 electrodes are ideal for structural steel, construction, pressure vessels, boilers, pipes, bridges, power plants, naval applications, and other high-strength steel work. The low-hydrogen content significantly reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material, while the stable arc and smooth, finely rippled bead pattern make for clean, professional results. This electrode is also commonly used for field erections, steel structures, frames, trailer hitches, and chassis.
