SIF Mild Steel Electrodes
SKU RE764001 · 7018
SIFTRODE 7018 is a basic-coated, low-hydrogen mild steel electrode with a recovery of around 120%, giving excellent welding characteristics and a weld deposit with very low hydrogen content (below 5ml/100g). It is designed for welding construction steels and fine-grained steels with increased yield strength, and is vacuum packed to preserve its low-hydrogen properties.

SIFTRODE 7018 Low Hydrogen Electrode — 4.0mm
They are mild steel MMA (stick) electrodes for manual metal arc welding of mild and carbon steels. They suit fabrication, maintenance and structural work.
The range includes rutile-coated 6013 for general-purpose welding, plus low-hydrogen 7016 and 7018 for enhanced mechanical strength and improved crack resistance. Choose the classification to match the job.
They come in 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm, 4.0mm and 5.0mm diameters. Select the diameter to suit your material thickness and current setting.
Selected low-hydrogen electrodes are vacuum-packed to preserve low moisture levels and ensure consistent weld quality. This matters for low-hydrogen electrodes where dryness is important.
Low-hydrogen 7016 and 7018 electrodes are used where you need higher mechanical strength and better crack resistance. For general-purpose work, the 6013 is easier to run.
