ESAB 255011819 7018 Low-Hydrogen Stick Welding Electrodes 1/8in x 14in 50lb Can

The ESAB 255011819 is a premium AWS E7018 low-hydrogen stick welding electrode, offered in a 1/8-inch diameter by 14-inch length configuration and packaged in a 50 lb hermetically sealed (HS) can for maximum moisture protection and long-term storage integrity.

The E7018 classification is one of the most widely used electrodes in structural, pressure vessel, and heavy fabrication welding. Its iron powder, low-hydrogen flux coating produces a smooth, stable arc with excellent bead appearance, minimal spatter, and a slag that is easy to remove. The result is high-quality welds with superior mechanical properties including high tensile strength, outstanding toughness, and excellent impact resistance at low temperatures.

Key Features:

• AWS Classification: E7018 — iron powder, low-hydrogen coating
• Diameter: 1/8 in (3.2 mm)
• Length: 14 in (356 mm)
• Package: 50 lb hermetically sealed (HS) can — protects against moisture absorption
• Minimum tensile strength of 70,000 PSI as deposited
• Excellent arc stability and low spatter for clean, professional welds
• Easy slag removal and smooth, uniform bead profile
• Suitable for all-position welding (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead)
• Ideal for welding mild and medium-carbon steels, structural steel, and pressure piping
• Compatible with AC and DC+ (DCEP) power sources

ESAB's E7018 electrodes meet or exceed AWS A5.1 specifications and are well-suited for demanding applications in shipbuilding, structural fabrication, pipeline welding, and general manufacturing. The hermetically sealed can packaging ensures electrodes remain dry and ready to use, reducing the need for pre-drying in many applications.
