When you are out in the field facing freezing temperatures and demanding specs, you need a rod that runs smooth and holds tight. The Hobart Hoballoy 8018-C1 is your go-to stick electrode for welding nickel-bearing steels and projects where toughness counts. Whether you are working on offshore rigs, pipelines, or heavy storage tanks, this rod delivers the 2% nickel content required to keep welds ductile and strong even when the thermometer drops.
Welders love the Hoballoy 8018-C1 for its excellent arc stability and puddle control. It runs beautifully on DCEP, but if you are fighting magnetic arc blow in a tight corner, you can switch over to AC and keep laying down beads without a headache. The 3/32-inch diameter is perfect for all-position welding, giving you the control you need for vertical-up and overhead welds. Plus, the slag lifts easily, meaning less time chipping and grinding and more time burning rods.
This 50lb can is built for the job site, keeping your electrodes dry and ready to fire until you crack the seal. If you are welding weathering steels or need to meet strict code requirements for low-temperature impact tests, this is the consumable you want in your stinger. Don't compromise on quality when the conditions get harsh—trust Hobart to help you lay down a bead that passes inspection every time.
