ROD EX 9018-B3MR H4R 1/8
PRODUCT FEATURES:
Premium low-hydrogen electrode reduces risk of hydrogen cracking in critical joints.
Stable arc with smooth strike/re-strike and easy slag removal enhances weld quality and user experience.
High tensile and yield strengths after stress relief make it suitable for structural and pressure applications.
Performs in multiple welding positions for versatility.
Compatible with both AC and DC+ power sources.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Lincoln Electric LCN-ED032888 ROD EX 9018-B3MR H4R 1/8″ is a premium Excalibur® low-hydrogen stick welding electrode tailored for welding low-alloy steels such as 2.25% chromium / 1% molybdenum grades used in heavy industrial applications like pressure vessels, power plants, petrochemical process piping, and structural components. Classified AWS E9018-B3 H4R, this electrode delivers a smooth, stable arc with reliable slag removal and excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile and yield strength after stress relieving. Designed for use on both AC and DC+ machines and in all common welding positions (except vertical down), it’s supplied in a sealed 50 lb can for moisture protection and consistent performance.
