ED032589 - Lincoln Excalibur 7018 MR Stick Electrode 1/8" 30lb Carton

Experience the Excalibur Difference in Stick Welding

If you are looking for a 7018 rod that runs smooth, starts easy, and doesn't fight you, the Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 7018 MR® is the upgrade your welding stinger deserves. Known among professional welders as one of the most user-friendly stick electrodes on the market, the Excalibur 7018 MR takes the frustration out of out-of-position welding. Whether you are welding vertical up on a structural beam or reaching around a pipe in a tight boiler room, this rod delivers a consistent, buttery arc that lets you focus on your puddle rather than fighting the flux.

The standout feature that welders love is the "Extreme Bendability." We've all been there—trying to jam a rod into a tight corner, bending it slightly, and watching the flux crumble off, ruining the rod. With Excalibur, you can bend the rod to get the perfect angle, and the coating stays intact. This means you get sound welds even in the most awkward spots. Plus, the arc starts are clean and crisp, reducing the porosity that often happens at the beginning of a bead. Once you're burning, you'll notice a clear puddle and minimal spatter, keeping your workpiece clean.

Moisture is the enemy of low-hydrogen rods, but Lincoln has you covered. The "MR" stands for Moisture Resistant. These rods absorb 60% less moisture than competitors, meaning they stay fresh longer and keep your welds code-compliant. And let's talk about the packaging: no more needing a screwdriver or a grinder to open your rod can. The Easy Open Cans utilize a pull-tab design (like a soda can) so you can grab your rods and get to work instantly. This pack (ED032589) comes with three 10-lb cans, totaling 30 lbs of premium 1/8" filler metal.

Why Choose Excalibur?

Beyond the smooth arc, the cleanup is a breeze. The slag often curls up and falls off on its own, or removes easily with a light chip, saving you time on cleanup and grinding. It's designed for all positions (except vertical down), making it a true all-rounder for your truck or shop. From heavy equipment repair to pipe welding, the Excalibur 7018 MR gives you the confidence that your weld is strong, clean, and professional.
