NOBLE - 7018
Low Hydrogen Iron powder type Radiographic Quality Electrode

Characteristics: NOBLE - 7018 is a heavy coated iron powder type electrode gives a smooth arc, good penetration and very less spatters. It is easy to operate in all position except vertical downward for radiographic quality welds. It produces uniform and finely rippled welds of superior finish. The weld metal is extremely ductile and crack resistant. The Effective electrode efficiency is more than 110%. The electrode operates on AC (70 V OCV) as well as DC (+) power.

Applications: NOBLE - 7018 is suitable for the welding of high tensile steels such as blast furnace steel work, pressure vessels, storage tanks, wagon building, pipe lines, furnace shells, bridges, ship hulls, root runs in heavy joints etc.
