MK8018B20001560E00 - Exocor E8018-B2 5/32" Stick Electrode - 50lb Hermetically Sealed Can

Reliable Stick Rod for High-Temp Projects

When your project involves chrome-moly steel, you need a rod that can handle the heat. The Exocor E8018-B2 5/32" stick electrode is built for the job, delivering strong, crack-resistant welds on 1.25% Cr / 0.5% Mo steels. Commonly used in the fabrication of boilers, steam pipes, and pressure vessels, this rod ensures your welds stand up to high operating temperatures and stress. If you are welding on P11 or similar grades of pipe and plate, this is the consumable you want in your stinger.

Welders will appreciate the smooth running characteristics of this Exocor electrode. It strikes easily and maintains a stable arc, helping you lay down consistent beads with excellent tie-in. The slag system is designed for easy removal, reducing cleanup time between passes—a major plus when you are stacking metal on heavy-wall joints. It performs exceptionally well in out-of-position work, giving you the control needed for vertical-up and overhead welds without fighting the puddle. The 5/32" diameter is perfect for filling and capping larger joints where deposition rate matters.

Moisture is the enemy of low-hydrogen rods, which is why Exocor packages these in a 50lb hermetically sealed metal can. This ensures that when you crack the seal, the rods are factory-fresh and ready to perform without immediate re-baking (though standard rod oven practices should be followed once opened). Whether you are repairing a heat exchanger or fabricating high-pressure piping, the E8018-B2 gives you the confidence that your welds will pass inspection and hold up over the long haul.
