MapleWeld 7018 Mild Steel Stick Welding SMAW Electrode | All-Position, AC/DC Reverse Polarity, Easy Slag Removal, Robust Mechanical Properties - AWS A5.1 Conformance (1/8" (3.2mm))

Low Hydrogen 7018 Performance Designed for structural and safety-critical welding. Produces smooth, dense, X-ray quality welds with excellent crack resistance and consistent bead appearance.

All-Position Welding – AC/DC+ Compatible Runs on both AC and DC reverse polarity (DCEP), making it suitable for shop welders, field repairs, and generator-powered machines.

Clean Arc & Easy Slag Release Stable, quiet arc with low spatter and fast slag removal. Reduces post-weld cleanup and improves productivity on long weld runs.

Strong Mechanical Properties Delivers tough, ductile, and fully machinable weld deposits—ideal for load-bearing joints, frames, heavy equipment repair, and fabrication work.

Industrial-Grade Applications Used for structural steel, pressure vessels, tanks, pipes, agricultural equipment, trailers, and general fabrication in demanding environments.

Certified & Compliant Manufactured to AWS A5.1 specifications and compliant with CWB, CE, and ISO 9001 standards. Trusted for professional and industrial use.

E7018 Electrodes are designed for all-position welding with both AC and DC reverse polarity currents. These electrodes are perfect for a wide range of applications, from tanks and pipes to structural steels and agricultural equipment. They produce X-ray quality welds characterized by a quiet, steady arc with minimal spatter and medium penetration, creating strong and reliable joints for rigorous industrial uses and safety-critical structures. The moisture-resistant coating on each electrode not only facilitates easy slag removal for simplified cleanup but also enhances overall workflow efficiency. With robust mechanical properties, these electrodes deliver tough, yet fully machinable deposits, making them ideal for tasks like rebuilding shafts, enhancing frames, and repairing heavy machinery. Complying with AWS, CWB, CE, and ISO 9001 standards, and approved by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance UK, these electrodes ensure top-notch quality and reliability. Packaged in a telescopic translucent plastic case, they offer convenient storage and transport, maintaining organization and readiness at your workplace.
