OVERVIEW

Smooth Arc and Extreme Bendability for Professional Welders

When you are in the field or the shop, you need a stick electrode that works with you, not against you. The Lincoln Excalibur® 7018-1 MR® is legendary among welders for its superior runnability. Known for its soft, smooth arc and clear puddle visibility, this rod takes the frustration out of out-of-position welding. The slag is self-peeling in many instances, or easily removed with a light tap, reducing cleanup time and letting you move on to the next pass faster.

One of the standout features of the Excalibur series is its extreme bendability. We all know those tight spots where a straight rod just won't fit. Unlike standard 7018 rods that flake or crumble when bent, the Excalibur coating holds tight, allowing you to curve the rod to reach difficult angles without compromising the shield. This feature alone saves time and frustration on complex structural jobs or pipe welding in restricted access zones.

This 1/8-inch electrode offers excellent restart characteristics and a stable arc that doesn't wander, giving you precise control over your bead profile. Whether you are welding vertical up, overhead, or flat, the Excalibur 7018-1 MR deposits consistent, high-quality metal. The "MR" moisture resistance also means the rod stays fresh longer once the can is cracked, giving you more time to burn rod and less time worrying about porosity. This 30lb master pack comes with three 10lb Easy Open cans, so you only expose what you need.

FAQ

MR stands for Moisture Resistant. The coating is designed to resist moisture pick-up from the atmosphere, which helps prevent hydrogen-induced cracking and porosity.

It is classified as E7018-1 H4R. The '-1' indicates improved impact toughness at lower temperatures, and 'H4R' indicates low diffusible hydrogen levels.

Yes, Excalibur electrodes are famous for their extreme bendability. The coating is designed to flex without flaking off, allowing access to difficult joints.

This item is a master carton containing three (3) 10 lb cans, for a total weight of 30 lbs.

Yes, it meets API 751 chemical composition recommendations and is Q2 Lot® controlled, making it suitable for critical code applications like pressure vessels and piping.

This electrode typically runs best on DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive), but it can also be used with AC (Alternating Current).

The Excalibur 7018-1 MR is known for having a clear puddle and slag that is generally easy to remove, often releasing easily as the weld cools.

This is a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter electrode.
