When your weld quality depends on keeping hydrogen levels low, the Lincoln Excalibur® 7018 XMR® is the stick electrode you can trust. We know that on a busy job site, keeping rods perfectly dry can be a hassle. That's why Lincoln Electric developed XMR (Extreme Moisture Resistance) technology. These 3/32-inch rods are designed to stay dry longer, resisting moisture pickup up to 60% better than other rods on the market. In fact, they stay within the strict H4R low-hydrogen limits for up to 24 hours after opening. This means you can focus more on laying beads and less on running back and forth to the rod oven.
The Excalibur 7018 XMR isn't just about moisture control; it's a dream to run. If you are tired of fighting with rods that have unstable arcs or messy puddles, you will appreciate the difference here. These electrodes provide a smooth, consistent arc and a clear puddle, making it easier to see what you are doing and lay down a perfect bead every time. The slag lifts easily, and the start porosity is minimized, saving you time on cleanup and grinding. Plus, the coating is tough—you can bend the rod to get into tight corners without the flux crumbling off.
This pack (ED037425) comes as a 30 lb master carton containing three convenient 10 lb Easy Open Cans. The smaller can size is perfect for portability, allowing you to take just what you need to your workspace while keeping the rest sealed and fresh. Whether you are welding pressure pipes, structural steel, or working in the petrochemical field, Excalibur 7018 XMR gives you the performance and peace of mind you need to get the job done right.
