Carbon Steel Low-Alloy Steels 7018-1 Welding Electrodes

Classified under AWS A5.1 as E7018-1 for applications requiring high notch toughness at subzero temperatures. Designed for welding carbon steel and low-alloy steels in critical load-bearing structures. Provides high impact resistance, typically tested at –46°C (–50°F) and below. Operates with both AC and DC (electrode positive) power sources. Delivers smooth arc start, low spatter, and minimal electrode sticking. Iron powder coating offers high deposition rates and improved weld metal recovery. Suitable for all-position welding including vertical-up. Produces strong, ductile welds with tensile strength exceeding 70,000 psi. Available in diameters such as 2.5 mm, 3.15 mm, 4.0 mm, and 5.0 mm. Supplied in vacuum-sealed or moisture-resistant packaging to preserve low hydrogen content
