Experience Superior Welding with Hobart 718

When your project demands the best in strength and reliability, reach for the Hobart 718 Stick Electrode. This 5/32-inch rod is a favorite among professional welders for its incredible "operator appeal"—meaning it runs smoothly, handles easily, and leaves a weld bead you can be proud of. Whether you are welding up a barge in the shipyard or repairing heavy machinery in the field, the Hobart 718 delivers the performance you need to get the job done right the first time.

What sets the Hobart 718 apart is its ability to handle the cold. If you are working on structures that will be exposed to freezing temperatures, you need a weld that won't crack under stress. This electrode is rated E7018-1, which means it has been tested and proven to stay tough even when the thermometer drops to -50°F. Plus, its special moisture-resistant coating helps keep the hydrogen out of your weld, preventing cracks and ensuring your work passes inspection every time.

We know that time is money, and the Hobart 718 helps you save both. The iron powder in the coating helps lay down more metal faster, boosting your deposition rates. The slag practically falls off by itself, saving you from endless chipping and grinding. It runs beautifully on both AC and DCEP, giving you the flexibility to use whatever machine you have on hand. The arc is stable and predictable, making vertical and overhead welding much less of a headache.

This 50lb can is perfect for big jobs, keeping your rods dry and ready until you crack the seal. Upgrade your stick welding game with the Hobart 718 and see the difference a premium consumable makes in your daily fabrication work.
