Citox E7018-1 electrode

E7018 Low Hydrogen Welding Electrodes is a high deposition welding rod for low and medium carbon steel. It is an efficient electrode with low hydrogen content and excellent mechanical properties; crack resistance and X-ray quality welds. This electrode provides a quiet, stable and spatter-free arc.

Many welding operators are well aware that stick welding or electrode welding is the key method for most welding applications due to the fact that many applications continue to lend themselves to the process. E7018 Low Hydrogen Welding Electrodes are a suitable choice in most projects as they provide suitable mechanical and chemical properties for a variety of applications, the low content of hydrogen levels assist in preventing hydrogen-induced cracking from porosity in the weld pool.

Welding operators can add more weld metal into the weld or joint in any given time than most other welding electrodes as 7018 LH

Electrodes offer good deposition rates and excellent penetration and can avoid weld defects such as lack of fusion. These welding electrodes provide distinct advantages, including, but not limited to, the ability to weld through dirt, mill scale, and debris successfully.
