30684 Stick Electrode, 1/8 in Dia, 14 in L, Mild Steel

E7018 AC mild steel welding rod easily produce quality results on smaller amperage AC/DC welders. Suitable for all positions on hardened steels where no preheat is used and on cold-rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod. The low hydrogen content reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material. Features excellent restart capability. Designed for welding low, medium and high-carbon steels as well as some higher strength low alloy steel. For frames, trailer hitches and chassis. AC, DCEN, DCEP recommended polarity. 84000 psi tensile strength. 65 to 100 A on the 10 LB rods 140-190. Individual electrode (rod) weighs 0.50 lb.
