OVERVIEW

The Welder's Choice for Critical Jobs

When your reputation depends on the quality of your welds, trust the Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 7018 MR®. This 5/32" stick electrode is a favorite among professional welders for a reason: it just runs better. Whether you are welding structural steel, repairing heavy equipment, or working on a pipeline, the Excalibur 7018 MR delivers a buttery smooth arc that is easy to start and easy to control. Say goodbye to frustrating rod sticking and excessive spatter. This rod lays down a flat, consistent bead with slag that practically lifts itself off, saving you time on cleanup and grinding.

Don't Let Moisture Ruin Your Weld

Moisture is the enemy of low-hydrogen electrodes, leading to porosity and cracking. Lincoln's 'MR' (Moisture Resistant) technology is a game-changer, absorbing 60% less moisture than competing rods. This means you can trust these rods to perform even on humid job sites. Plus, this product comes in a convenient 10 lb Easy Open Can. No more struggling with tools to pry open a package; just pop the top and you are ready to weld. The smaller 10 lb quantity is perfect for smaller jobs or for keeping your consumables fresh without opening a massive bulk container.

Bend It Without Breaking It

We've all been there—trying to weld a joint that's just out of reach or around a corner. With standard rods, bending them often causes the flux to crack and fall off, ruining the rod. The Excalibur 7018 MR is designed with extreme bendability. You can curve the electrode to get the perfect angle in tight spaces, and the coating stays put. This flexibility, combined with its all-position capability (Flat, Horizontal, Vertical, Overhead), makes it one of the most versatile tools in your arsenal. Upgrade to Excalibur and experience the difference in handleability and weld quality.

FAQ

For 5/32" diameter, the recommended range is 130-210 Amps on DC+ and 140-210 Amps on AC.

'MR' stands for Moisture Resistant. These electrodes are designed to absorb significantly less moisture from the air compared to standard E7018 rods, reducing the risk of hydrogen cracking.

Yes, the Excalibur 7018 MR is designed to operate smoothly on both DC+ (Reverse Polarity) and AC current.

It is classified as AWS A5.1 E7018 H4R. This indicates a 70,000 psi tensile strength, low hydrogen (H4), and moisture resistant (R) properties.

Yes, one of the key features of the Excalibur 7018 MR is its extreme bendability. The coating is formulated to resist cracking or flaking when the rod is bent.

This specific SKU (ED032590) comes in a 10 lb Easy Open Can, which is convenient for portability and keeping electrodes fresh.

While the MR coating provides superior resistance to moisture, for critical code work, it is always best practice to store opened low-hydrogen electrodes in a rod oven.

It is ideal for welding carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and high-strength steels.
