AWS E7018 Welding electrodes
AWS E7018 (J506Fe) is iron powder low-hydrogen carbon steel electrode with excellent mechanical properties and cracking-resistan
CARBON STEEL COVERED ELECTRODE AWS E7018
Fitted: GB/T5117-1995 E5018
Approved: ABS BV CCS DNV GL LR KR 4YH10
Description:
AWS E7018 is iron powder low-hydrogen carbon steel electrode with excellent mechanical properties and cracking-resistant. It can be welded in all positions with both AC and DC and reduces welding layer with ironpowder in the coating.
Application: It's used for welding carbon steel, low alloy steel and hull struction as 16Mn, AH32, AH36.
Note
1. The electrode must be baken for an hour at 350 centigrade before use and used immediately.
2. The dust on the base metal must be cleaned before welded.
3. When welded you should control with short arc and thin layer.
4. Welded with DC, the electrode must be tied on the R.
