3776404500 - Bohler E7018-1 4.0mm Stick Electrode 6.2kg Tube

Reliable E7018-1 Welding Rods for Heavy-Duty Fabrication

Tackle your toughest welding jobs with confidence using the Bohler E7018-1 4.0mm Stick Electrodes. Known for their smooth runnability and professional results, these rods are a staple for welders who demand quality and consistency. The E7018-1 designation means these rods go beyond standard 7018s, offering enhanced impact strength at sub-zero temperatures, which is essential for equipment and structures exposed to harsh Canadian winters or extreme operating environments.

This 6.2kg tube is perfect for medium-to-large projects, providing enough material to keep you welding without the bulk of a master carton. The 4.0mm diameter is a workhorse size for heavy fabrication, allowing you to lay down significant metal in fewer passes compared to smaller rods. The 18-inch length further boosts productivity by reducing the frequency of electrode changes. With a moisture-resistant coating, these rods start easily and maintain a stable arc, minimizing spatter and porosity risks.

Designed for all-position welding, these electrodes excel in vertical and overhead positions just as well as flat. The slag system is designed for quick detachment, leaving behind a clean, sound weld bead that requires minimal grinding. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery, building structural frames, or working on general maintenance, these E7018-1 rods deliver the strength and ductility needed for a long-lasting repair. Compatible with both AC and DC power sources, they offer versatility for various shop and field setups.
