Lincoln Excalibur 9018M 1/8" Stick Electrode (30lb Carton)

Experience the Excalibur Difference

For professional welders who demand control and consistency, the Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 9018M MR® Stick Electrode is a game-changer. Known for its "premium arc performance," this rod takes the frustration out of welding high-strength steel. The arc is exceptionally smooth and stable, allowing for precise manipulation of the weld puddle. One of the standout features of the Excalibur line is its strike and re-strike capability. Whether you are starting a fresh rod or picking up where you left off, the ignition is immediate and reliable, reducing the likelihood of porosity at the start of the weld and preventing the dreaded "woodpecking" often associated with low-hydrogen rods.

Effortless Operation in All Positions

Welding out of position can be challenging, but the Excalibur® 9018M MR® is designed to make vertical and overhead welds easier to manage. The 1/8-inch diameter is versatile enough for a wide range of material thicknesses. The slag system is another area where this electrode shines; it is formulated for effortless removal. In many cases, the slag will peel up on its own as it cools, or require only a light tap to remove, leaving a clean, professional-looking bead underneath. This reduces cleanup time significantly and allows you to focus on laying down metal rather than chipping away at stubborn slag.

Clean, Strong Welds Every Time

Beyond its usability, this electrode gives you the confidence that your welds will hold up under pressure. The Moisture Resistant (MR) coating means the rod resists absorbing humidity from the air, keeping the hydrogen content low and your welds crack-free. The square coating burn-off provides excellent visibility of the arc and the puddle, ensuring you can see exactly what you are doing. Whether you are working on a ship, a bridge, or a pressure vessel, the Excalibur® 9018M MR® delivers the strength (90,000 psi) and the smooth runnability you need to get the job done right the first time.
