Forney 7018 AC welding rods easily produce quality results on smaller amperage AC/DC welders. It is suitable for all positions on steels where no pre-heat is used and on cold rolled steels normally exhibiting excessive porosity when welded with conventional rod. Features excellent restart capability. Designed for welding low, medium and high carbon steels as well as some higher strength low alloy steel. For frames, trailer hitches and chassis.
All position welding, low hydrogen rod for general purpose AC applications requiring low penetration, can also be used on DC+
The low hydrogen content reduces cracking and peeling of the weld material
Good performance with low open circuit voltage power sources
Multi functional: these electrodes are ideal for tack welding, and for projects that involve difficult steels to weld (thick sections, restrained joints with cracking issues, etc.)
Diameter: 1/8 inch
Tensile strength: 84,000 PSI
