ESAB 7018-1 Prime is a reliable, high-quality electrode, providing high deposition rate and extra low moisture absorption. It provides excellent welding pool control, minimal spatter level, good arc strike and easy slag removal making it easy to weld with, including in out-of-position welding. Particularly suitable for welding high strength low-alloy steels. The low-temperature impact strength of the weld metal should be noted.
ESAB 7018-1 Prime welding electrodes are low moisture absorption (LMA) with a coating that only slowly re-absorbs moisture from the air**. The safe exposure time is 12 hours* after opening the VacPac with the foil left in place. For optimal security, it is recommended to take out only one electrode at a time.
