Forney Industries E7018; Stick Electrode; 1/8 in x 5 Pound

Features and Benefits:

• 7018; 1/8"" low hydrogen welding rod is ideal for field erections; steel structures; frame; trailer hitches and chassis



E7018 mild steel low hydrogen welding electrodes easily produce quality results on smaller amperage DC; or higher amperage AC welders. Use for field erections; steel structures; frames; trailer hitches and chassis. Product Specifications:* Recommended polarity DCEP (reverse) or AC* Diameter: 1/8"" (3.18mm) * Weight: 5 lbs. (2.26 kg)* Tensile strength: 84;000 PSI * Amperage: 100-140* Not recommended for use with low open circuit-voltage OCV power sourcesProduct Features: OUT OF POSITION WELDING* This welding rod is suitable for all positions on hardenable steels where no preheat is used; and on cold rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod.LOW HYDROGEN* The low hydrogen content of these electrodes reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material.MULTIFUNCTIONAL * These electrodes are also ideal for tack welding; and for projects that involve difficult steels to weld (thick sections; restrained joints with cracking issues; etc.).
