Welding electrode 7018 MOST (orange) 3.2mm /5kg/ 0630701832

Universal welding electrode for demanding applications

The MOST 7018 (orange) electrode with a diameter of 3.2 mm is a proven choice for professionals and demanding users. It is used for welding structural steels and high-strength cast iron, especially in industries such as shipbuilding, machine construction, and the railway sector. Its characteristics make it ideal for welding structures exposed to high dynamic loads.

Properties and application

The electrode, coated with a basic flux, classified according to PN-EN 2560-A-E: E 42 4 B 42 H5 and AWS A 5.1: E 7018 standards, ensures high weld quality and reliable connection. The ability to weld with direct or alternating current and in various positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead) increases its versatility and allows for use in various working conditions. Thanks to its mechanical properties – Re[N/mm²]>440, Rm[N/mm²]=510-610, A5>24%, KV>47 J (-40°C) – it guarantees the durability and resistance of the weld to low temperatures.

Advantages and approvals

• High strength: Chemical composition (C=0.08, Si=0.60, Mn=1.00) ensures high weld strength and crack resistance.
• Versatility: Ability to weld various types of steel and in different positions.
• Approvals: It has ABS, BV, and DNV-GL approvals, confirming its high quality and compliance with industry requirements.
• Low-temperature resistance: High KV value (above 47 J at -40°C) ensures that the weld maintains its mechanical properties even in extreme conditions.
• Stable arc: Basic flux provides a stable welding arc, which translates to ease of welding and an aesthetic appearance of the weld.

The MOST 7018 electrode is a solid choice for any welder looking for a reliable material for demanding tasks.
