Forney E7018 Stick Electrode, 1/8 Inch x 5 Pounds

Description

The Forney E7018 Stick Electrode (model 30805) is a high-strength, low-hydrogen welding rod designed for welding mild steel. With a 1/8-inch diameter and a 5-pound package, it’s ideal for both structural and general-purpose welding projects. This electrode delivers smooth, stable arcs and produces strong, crack-resistant welds, even on dirty or rusty surfaces. It’s perfect for use in fabrication, repair, and maintenance work, offering deep penetration and clean bead appearance. Compatible with both AC and DC welders, it’s a reliable choice for professionals and DIYers alike.

Features

• Suitable for all positions on hardenable steels where no preheat is used, and on cold rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod.
• The low hydrogen content of these electrodes reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material.
• These electrodes are also ideal for tack welding, and for projects that involve difficult steels to weld (thick sections, restrained joints with cracking issues, etc.).
• Easily produce quality results on smaller amperage DC or DCEN.
• Use for field erections, steel structures, frames, trailer hitches and chassis.
• Not recommended for use with low open circuit-voltage OCV power sources.

Specifications

• Recommended polarity DCEP (reverse) or DCEN
• Diameter: 1/8 in (3.18 millimeters)
• Weight: 5 lbs. (2.26 kg)
