Low Hydrogen

JACKSUN 18-1 SPECIAL

AWS A5.1: E7018-1

Premium low-hydrogen, iron-powder type electrode designed for superior toughness and crack resistance.
Produces weld metal with enhanced impact properties, especially at low temperatures (-30 °C and below).
Suitable for critical structural applications, offshore platforms, bridges, pipelines, and pressure vessels.
Provides smooth arc stability, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal.
Operates on AC and DC+ polarity.
