Description
Low Hydrogen Electrodes – ESAB OK 48.04 E7018 3.2x450mm Premium Welding Rods
The low hydrogen electrodes ESAB OK 48.04 E7018 3.2x450mm provide excellent arc stability and superior weld quality, especially suited for structural welding. These electrodes are designed for high-strength steel applications, ensuring crack-resistant and durable welds in construction, fabrication, and repair work.
Designed for Consistent Arc and Deep Penetration
ESAB’s OK 48.04 E7018 rods deliver a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter, improving welding efficiency and reducing cleanup time. Their low hydrogen coating helps minimize the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking, which is critical when welding heavy gauge steel or thick sections.
Ideal for Structural and Heavy Fabrication Applications
These electrodes excel in demanding environments, such as bridges, buildings, and pressure vessels. They are suitable for use in all welding positions, including flat, vertical, overhead, and horizontal, providing versatility for various welding projects.
Vacuum Packaging for Moisture Protection
To maintain welding performance, ESAB packs these electrodes in vacuum-sealed packaging. This process prevents moisture absorption and eliminates the need for pre-welding baking. As a result, welders get reliable, high-quality welds right from the start.
Compatible with AC and DC Welding Machines
The ESAB OK 48.04 E7018 electrodes work effectively with both AC and DC power sources. This compatibility makes them flexible for various welding setups in workshops and job sites.
