Forney 30905 Stick Electrode, 84000 psi Tensile Strength, 14 in L, Applicable Materials: Mild Steel, 5/32 in Dia

Forney® E7018 is a low hydrogen, electrode recommended for welding applications involving structural steel, construction, pressure vessels, boilers, pipes, bridges, power plants, naval and other high-strength steels where hydrogen control is imperative. This electrode displays a stable arc, smooth and finely rippled bead pattern and easy slag removal.

• E7018 mild steel "Low hydrogen" welding electrodes easily produces quality results on smaller amperage DC or higher amperage AC welders
• 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
• The low hydrogen content reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material
