Low Hydrogen Electrodes - Premier 7018

Characteristics :
PREMIER-7018 is a heavy coated, all position, low hydrogen type electrode, designed for welding of structural steels, high strength low-alloy steels, boiler plates and also low temperature steels. It permits crack resistant welding of high carbon steels. It produces high purity, radiographic quality weld deposits with excellent non-ageing properties. Deposition efficiency is about 115%.

Applications :
Structural steels, Low alloy steels, Low temperature steels, High carbon steels, Rails, Wagons, Bridges, Boilers, Pressure vessels, Tanks, Ship-building, Cranes, Machine building etc. involving joining of dissimilar steels and welding of heavy mild steel sections. Specially recommended for heavy joints under restraint and subject to dynamic loading.
