Forney 72645 E7018 Stick Welding Electrode 1/8 in. 10 lb. Container

The Forney 72645 is an E7018 low-hydrogen stick welding electrode designed for welding a wide range of mild and low-alloy steels. Known for producing clean, smooth, and strong welds, the E7018 is a go-to choice for structural, pressure vessel, and general fabrication applications where weld quality and mechanical strength are critical.

Key Features:

• Classification: AWS E7018 low-hydrogen, iron powder electrode
• Diameter: 1/8 in. (3.2 mm)
• Container Size: 10 lb.
• Tensile Strength: 70,000 PSI minimum
• Low-hydrogen coating reduces the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in welds
• All-position capable — flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welding
• Produces a smooth, stable arc with easy slag removal
• Compatible with AC or DC+ (reverse polarity) welding machines
• Ideal for welding mild steel, medium carbon steel, and low-alloy steel

The Forney 72645 E7018 electrode is packaged in a resealable 10 lb. container to help protect the moisture-sensitive low-hydrogen coating between uses. Proper storage is essential — store in a dry location and re-dry electrodes if moisture exposure is suspected. Forney Industries has been a trusted name in welding consumables and equipment since 1932.
