BÖHLER Bohler AWS E7018-1 Low Hydrogen Welding Electrodes

Bohler AWS E7018-1 Low Hydrogen Welding Electrodes – High-Strength, Low-Hydrogen Performance Bohler AWS E7018-1 Low Hydrogen Welding Electrodes are premium basic-coated stick electrodes designed for high-integrity welding applications where strength, toughness, and crack resistance are critical. Suitable for structural steels and demanding fabrication work, these electrodes deliver reliable performance across a wide range of industries. Formulated with a low hydrogen coating, they minimise the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking, making them ideal for thick sections, restrained joints, and high-strength steels. The “-1” classification indicates enhanced impact toughness at low temperatures, ensuring dependable weld performance even in harsh environments. These electrodes provide smooth arc characteristics, easy slag removal, and excellent weld bead appearance, with consistent mechanical properties and high metal recovery rates. They are suitable for use in all positions (except vertical down), offering flexibility for a variety of welding tasks.
