Afrox 7018-1 Class C3 Sched I Electrodes – Low Hydrogen Welding Rods for Structural Steel

The Afrox 7018-1 Class C3 Sched I electrodes are premium low hydrogen welding rods designed for high-strength structural steel fabrication. These electrodes are ideal for critical welding applications where excellent toughness, low diffusible hydrogen levels, and X-ray quality welds are required.

Engineered for Structural Steel & Pressure Vessel Welding

These E7018-1 electrodes provide superior weld metal properties, including high tensile strength and exceptional impact resistance, even at sub-zero temperatures. They are widely used in industries like shipbuilding, heavy construction, mining, and energy infrastructure—where structural integrity cannot be compromised.

The Afrox 7018-1 C3 electrodes meet stringent classification requirements, including AWS A5.1 E7018-1 and ISO standards. Their carefully controlled hydrogen content makes them suitable for welds subjected to high stress or dynamic loading conditions.

Smooth Arc Performance with Low Spatter

Afrox has engineered these rods for optimal usability. The arc is smooth and stable, and slag detaches easily—reducing post-weld cleanup and increasing productivity. Whether welding in flat, vertical, or overhead positions, these rods deliver uniform bead appearance and deep fusion.

Vacuum-Packed for Maximum Moisture Protection

To preserve their low hydrogen properties, Afrox vacuum-packs these electrodes in sealed packaging. This prevents moisture contamination that can lead to hydrogen-induced cracking and weld defects—especially critical in pressure vessel and structural code work.
