PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Lincoln Electric Excalibur 7018-1 MR Stick (SMAW) Electrode — ED032889 is a low-hydrogen, mild steel stick welding rod engineered for enhanced impact toughness and reliable weld quality on carbon and low-alloy steels. Classified AWS E7018-1 H4R, it delivers a smooth and stable arc with excellent slag removal, moisture resistance, and ductility, making it suitable for demanding applications such as power generation, petrochemical, pressure vessels, pressure piping, and structural welding. The rod supports all positions except vertical-down and comes in a large 50 lb sealed can to maintain coating dryness and performance.
