YESWELDER E7018 Dual-Spec Welding Rods 3/32in & 1/8in (2×2.5lb), All-Position

YESWELDER E7018 is a dual-spec carbon steel welding rod built around a low-hydrogen iron powder formula. It is designed to perform in all welding positions and supports AC or DC reverse polarity, offering flexibility for different machines and setups.

In practice, welders often notice a smooth, steady arc, minimal spatter, and reliable re-strike, which helps maintain control and achieve a consistent weld bead. The electrode is optimized for high deposition efficiency, meaning you can cover more weld metal with fewer passes when conditions align with its chemistry.

Key Benefits

• Steady arc and reduced spatter for smoother starts and cleaner beads
• Excellent re-striking ability to resume welding quickly after pauses
• High deposition efficiency that can improve productivity on long runs
• All-position suitability on low-, medium-, and high-carbon steels and low-alloy structures

Ideal Uses

• Low-, medium-, and high-carbon steels
• Low-alloy structural components, offshore rigs, and power plant sections
• Steel structures and tack welds for tubular wire applications

The product ships as a dual-diameter package: 3/32 inch and 1/8 inch rods, each 14 inches long, with a total weight of 5 pounds. Recommended amperages span 115A to 165A, making it suitable for a range of machines and joint geometries. This combination of sizes provides flexibility to match different joints and fit common welding setups.

When handling YESWELDER E7018, you’ll notice a stable burn and a bead that wets well to produce solid fusion along the joint line. As with any welding consumable, follow safety guidelines, observe polarity requirements, and adjust amperage to your specific project conditions for best results.
