Atom Arc 7018-1
Atom Arc 7018-1 is an all-position, low hydrogen electrode that provides exceptional impact toughness at low service temperatures. Atom Arc 7018-1 provides smooth metal transfer, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal. Atom Arc 7018-1 is used to join a wide variety of carbon and low alloy steels. It is also an excellent choice for welding higher strength steels if undermatching welds are specified.
