When the job calls for welding chrome-moly pipe or plate, you need a rod that runs smooth and passes X-ray every time. The Lincoln Excalibur 8018-B2 is built for exactly that. Designed for 1.25% Chromium, 0.50% Molybdenum steels, this stick electrode delivers the premium arc performance that the Excalibur name is famous for. Whether you are welding in a power plant or working on pressure vessels, this rod gives you the control you need to lay down defect-free beads.
Welders appreciate the Excalibur 8018-B2 for its exceptional puddle clarity and square coating burn-off. The arc is soft yet penetrating, allowing for precise manipulation of the weld pool without fighting the rod. One of the biggest advantages on the job site is the easy slag removal. In many cases, the slag lifts by itself or requires just a light tap, saving you time on cleanup and reducing the chance of slag inclusions in multi-pass welds. The rod is also designed to resist moisture pickup, meaning it stays fresh longer in the can and delivers consistent low-hydrogen results.
This 24 lb master carton ensures you have plenty of material on hand for larger projects. The 3/32" (2.5mm) diameter is versatile for root passes and fill passes on thinner wall pipe or plate. With its H4R low hydrogen rating, you can trust this electrode to provide the crack resistance and ductility required for high-temperature service applications. Upgrade your welding consumables to Lincoln Excalibur and experience the difference a premium coating makes on your final weld quality.
