Low Hydrogen

JACKSUN 18 H4R

AWS A5.1: E7018 H4REN ISO 2560-A: E 42 4 B 32 H5EN ISO 2560-B: E4918 H4R
  • Basic coated, low hydrogen electrode with enhanced moisture resistance (H4R).
  • Provides superior mechanical properties with diffusible hydrogen ≤ 4 ml/100 g weld metal.
  • Designed for structural steel, bridges, pipelines, boilers, and pressure vessels where hydrogen cracking resistance is critical.
  • R suffix (Resistant): Special coating technology ensures extended shelf life without moisture pick-up (meets AWS H4R).
  • Smooth arc, easy slag removal, fine weld bead.
  • Suitable for all-position welding except vertical down.
