Description:

A high deposition electrode for low and medium carbon steels. It is an efficient, iron powder, low hydrogen electrode with excellent mechanical properties that are crack resistant and provide x-ray quality welds. Conforms to ANSI/AWS A5.1 & ASME SFA 5.1 E7018.

Typical Application:

Ship hull construction, pressure vessels, boilers, piping, heavy duty equipment, general maintenance and/or production fabrication.

Features:

• Tensile strength - Up to 81,000 psi
• Yield strength - up to 67,700
• Elongation in 2- 29.4% minimum
• All position
• Provides a quiet, stable, low penetration, spatter-free arc
• Produces moderate to heavy slag that is easily removed, revealing a bead with distinct ripples
• Operator appeal is a plus factor
