The ESAB OK 55.00 E7018-1 3/32″ Stick Electrode is a low-hydrogen mild steel welding rod designed for structural steel, shipbuilding, and heavy-duty fabrication. Engineered for high-strength welds, this electrode offers smooth arc stability, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal, making it a preferred choice for critical welding applications. With a minimum tensile strength of 85,600 PSI (590 MPa) and VacPac vacuum-sealed packaging, it remains protected from moisture absorption, reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking. This electrode meets CSA W48 and AWS E7018-1 H4R certifications, ensuring strong, durable welds in demanding environments.

This E7018-1 electrode is ideal for welders requiring high-impact strength and crack-resistant welds on mild and structural-grade steels. Its smooth arc characteristics and AC/DC compatibility make it suitable for industrial, construction, and repair work. Whether used in shipbuilding, power plants, or heavy equipment repair, it ensures clean, defect-free welds that withstand stress and extreme temperatures.

Features:

  • Low-hydrogen formula: Reduces hydrogen-induced cracking, ensuring long-lasting welds.
  • High-strength performance: Provides a minimum tensile strength of 85,600 PSI (590 MPa) for heavy-duty applications.
