Description

E8018-B2 is an outstanding Cr-Mo welding electrode for higher strength steels with tensile strength greater than 80,000 pounds. The coating resist moisture pick-up under conditions of high heat and humidity. The electrode offers resistance to moisture reabsorption which helps prevent hydrogen cracking and aids in elimination of starting porosity. Definitely a preferred electrode with high operator appeal when welding 1/2%, 1% or 1 1/4% Cr & 1/2% Mo bearing materials.
