E7018 Hobart 418 Carbon Steel Electrode

Hobart 418 gives you all the flexibility you need in a general-purpose, low-hydrogen, mild steel electrode. It conforms to the requirements of AWS A5.1, E7018. It also has good out-of-position welding capabilities and provides an X-ray quality deposit. And this unique electrode is ideal for tacking prior to finish welding with Fabshield self-shielded, tubular wire. Thats because the construction of the Hobart 418 allows removal of all the slag from the self-shielded wire.

Features:

Superior weld appeal
Reliable starts and re-starts
Low moisture absorption
Minimal spatter
Good wetting action
Smooth, stable arc
Slag detaches easily
Compatible with Fabshield tubalur wires

Application:

field erections, steel structures
jobs where low-hydrogen weld metal in the tensile strength range of 70,000 psi is required
low-alloy structurals
low-, medium-, and high-carbon steels
offshore rigs, power plants
