Lincoln Electric E7018 Low-Hydrogen Welding Electrode for Mild and Carbon Steel – E 7018 – BASIC

Description:

The Lincoln Electric E7018 is a low-hydrogen iron-powder stick welding electrode classified to AWS E7018, designed for SMAW/MMA welding on mild steel, carbon steel and compatible low-alloy steel. With a 70,000psi minimum tensile-strength classification and a low-hydrogen iron-powder coating, it delivers consistent weld quality across structural fabrication, steel-frame construction and general mild-steel welding. Available in 2.6mm, 3.2mm and 4.0mm diameters at 350mm length, it is suitable for all standard welding positions except vertical-down.

Key Features:

• Designed for SMAW/MMA stick welding on mild steel, carbon steel and compatible low-alloy steel
• Low-hydrogen iron-powder coating for reduced risk of hydrogen-induced cracking
• 70,000psi minimum tensile-strength classification under standardised test conditions
• Suitable for all standard welding positions except vertical-down
• Commonly used on DC Electrode Positive (DC+); AC compatibility depends on the specific Lincoln E7018 variant
