Lincoln Electric Steel Stick Electrodes (SMAW)

Lincoln Electric steel stick electrodes are anchored by industry-leading lines like Excalibur® and Fleetweld®, covering everything from structural to pipe welding. Excalibur 7018 and 7018-1 low-hydrogen rods are widely used for code work due to their moisture resistance, smooth arc, and strong mechanical properties, while Fleetweld 5P+ (6010) and Fleetweld 35 (6011) are go-to choices for deep penetration and dirty or painted steel. Lincoln also offers higher strength options like 8018 and 11018 electrodes for critical applications, along with AC-optimized versions like 7018AC for versatility across different power sources.
