UPC #032277406803
Key Features
AI Generated- All‑position capability ensures reliable welds no matter the orientation.
- Versatile enough for small home projects and large industrial jobs.
- Experience reduced cracking thanks to the low hydrogen composition.
- Dual AC/DC reverse polarity capability expands your welding options.
Description
The Forney AC7018 Welding Electrode is a low hydrogen stick electrode designed for all-position welding on carbon steel and low alloy steel materials. This versatile electrode works with both AC and DC reverse polarity (DCEN/DCEP) welding equipment, making it suitable for a wide range of metal fabrication, automotive repair, construction, and frame welding projects. The low hydrogen formulation significantly reduces the risk of cracking and peeling in the weld material, delivering strong, reliable welds even on hardened steels where no preheat is needed and on cold-rolled steels that typically exhibit porosity problems with conventional rods.
Whether you are a professional welder or a DIY enthusiast working on smaller amperage welders, this electrode provides excellent arc stability and restart capability. The 3/32-inch diameter and 14-inch length are optimized for consistent performance across multiple applications. Packaged in a convenient 1-pound cardboard container, the electrodes stay protected and organized for easy handling and storage.
Features and Benefits
- Low Hydrogen Formulation: Reduces cracking and peeling for superior weld quality and durability.
