BQ5015MS31MC - Bohler FOX EV 50 1/8" Stick Electrode (E7018-1) - Metal Can

Bohler FOX EV 50: The Standard for E7018-1 Welding

Elevate your welding projects with the Bohler FOX EV 50, a premium basic stick electrode designed for high-stress applications. Classified as E7018-1 H4 R, this electrode is formulated to deliver superior crack resistance and high impact toughness, even at sub-zero temperatures. The 1/8" (3.2mm) size is a staple in any professional welder's arsenal, offering the perfect balance of deposition rate and control for positional welding.

The FOX EV 50 is distinguished by its excellent operating characteristics. It strikes easily and maintains a stable arc, producing a flat to slightly convex bead profile with fine ripples. The slag system is designed for easy detachment, reducing post-weld cleanup time. Its high metallurgical purity makes it an excellent choice for welding steels with higher carbon content or impurities, where standard electrodes might fail. The electrode is also resistant to aging, ensuring consistent performance over time.

Packaged in a durable Metal Can, these electrodes are safeguarded against moisture absorption—a critical factor for low-hydrogen consumables. This packaging ensures that the electrodes remain factory-fresh until opened, providing peace of mind for code-quality work. With high tensile strength and ductility, the Bohler FOX EV 50 is trusted globally for demanding projects in the energy, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
