When your project demands the absolute best in stick welding performance, the Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 7018 MR® stands in a league of its own. Known among professional welders as a "shooter" for its incredibly smooth arc and easy operation, this 3/32-inch electrode takes the frustration out of difficult welds. Whether you are welding structural beams, repairing heavy equipment, or fabricating pressure vessels, the Excalibur 7018 MR delivers a buttery smooth arc that remains stable even on low open-circuit voltage machines. The "MR" stands for Moisture Resistant, meaning these rods stay fresh longer and resist the humidity that ruins standard rods, ensuring you get a porosity-free weld every time you strike an arc.
One of the standout features of this electrode is its extreme bendability. We've all been there—trying to reach a weld joint around a corner or in a tight spot. With Excalibur, you can bend the rod to get the perfect angle, and the flux coating won't pop off. This saves you money on wasted rods and frustration on the job site. The slag removal is equally impressive; often, the slag lifts off by itself as the weld cools, leaving a clean, professional-looking bead with minimal brushing required. This 10 lb Easy Open Can is perfect for portability and storage, eliminating the need for tools to access your electrodes.
Designed for versatility, the Excalibur 7018 MR runs beautifully on both DC+ and AC polarity, making it compatible with a wide range of welding power sources, from industrial generators to shop buzz boxes. It offers excellent puddle control, allowing for high-quality out-of-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead. If you are looking for a rod that makes you look like a pro and delivers code-quality results, reach for the Excalibur.
