ED038113 - Lincoln Easyarc 7018-1 Low Hydrogen Stick Electrode 2.5mm

Experience Professional Performance with Easyarc 7018-1

When the job calls for a weld that needs to hold up under pressure and cold conditions, professional welders reach for the Lincoln Electric Easyarc 7018-1. This isn't just another 7018 rod; it is a high-performance tool designed to make your day under the hood smoother and your welds stronger. The "-1" in the name means this rod has been tested to stay tough even when the temperature drops, giving you the confidence that your work will stand the test of time and the elements.

One of the first things you will notice when you strike an arc with the Easyarc 7018-1 is how stable and buttery the arc feels. Lincoln has refined the flux coating to ensure that the arc starts easily and stays lit, even if you are in a tight spot or welding out of position. Speaking of positions, this 2.5mm rod is a master of versatility. It is small enough to handle precise root passes or thin-wall pipe, yet it deposits enough metal to be effective on structural fill passes. Whether you are welding vertical-up on a column or running an overhead bead, the puddle freezes predictably, giving you total control over the bead profile.

Let's talk about cleanup. We all know that chipping stubborn slag is a waste of time and energy. The Easyarc 7018-1 features excellent slag release—often, the slag will curl up and peel off on its own as it cools, or it will pop off with a light tap of your chipping hammer. This leaves you with a clean, shiny bead that looks as good as it holds. The low spatter levels also mean less grinding and cleaning around the weld zone. For welders who take pride in their craft and need a rod that performs as well as they do, the Lincoln Easyarc 7018-1 is the reliable choice for heavy fabrication, equipment repair, and structural steelwork.
