ED032591 - Excalibur 7018-1 MR 3/32" Stick Electrode - 10lb Can

The Rod That Bends Without Breaking

If you have ever been in a tight spot, trying to weld a joint where you have to bend your rod just to reach the puddle, you know the frustration of flux popping off before you even strike an arc. The Lincoln Excalibur® 7018-1 MR® changes the game with its extreme bendability. You can curve this rod to navigate around obstructions, and the coating stays intact, ensuring you get a shielded, sound weld every time. It is designed for welders who need reliability in the field, whether you are working on a pipe rack, a pressure vessel, or structural steel.

Beyond its flexibility, the Excalibur 7018-1 is famous for its smooth arc and clear puddle. The slag system is engineered to lift easily—often peeling up by itself as it cools—which saves you time on cleanup and reduces the risk of slag inclusions in multi-pass welds. The arc is soft yet penetrating, giving you excellent control over the bead profile in all positions, including vertical-up and overhead. It strikes and restrikes effortlessly, minimizing porosity at the start of the weld.

Packaged in Lincoln's Easy Open Cans, these rods stay fresh and dry until you are ready to use them. No more fighting with tools to open a tin; just pop the tab and get to work. With the 7018-1 classification, you are also getting a rod that deposits tougher metal, meaning your welds aren't just pretty—they are stronger and more resistant to cracking in cold weather. For a stick rod that runs as good as it looks, reach for the Excalibur.
