TOKO brand Welding Rods E7018 are renowned for their exceptional features and qualities, making them suitable for a wide range of welding applications. Here are some key features of these welding rods:

1. High Tensile Strength:
   • E7018 welding rods are designed for high tensile strength mild steels and low alloy steels. This ensures that the welded joints are strong and durable, suitable for demanding applications.
2. Low Hydrogen Potassium Slag Coating:
   • These rods are covered with an extra low hydrogen potassium type coating, which helps to reduce the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking. This characteristic makes them ideal for critical welding applications where high crack resistance is required.
3. Excellent Low Temperature Toughness:
   • The weld metal produced by E7018 welding rods exhibits excellent low temperature toughness, allowing them to be used in environments with low temperatures without compromising the integrity of the welded joint.
4. High Welding Efficiency:
   • Due to the inclusion of iron powder in the coating, the nominal welding efficiency of E7018 welding rods is approximately 110%. This enhances productivity and reduces welding time.
5. Versatility:
   • E7018 welding rods can be used in all welding positions, making them versatile and suitable for a variety of welding tasks.
6. Environmentally Friendly:
   • These welding rods are known for their eco-friendly nature, as they produce minimal smoke and fumes during welding, making them a safer choice for both welders and the environment.
7. Wide Range of Applications:
   • E7018 welding rods are widely used in important projects such as shipbuilding, boiler construction, high-pressure vessels, bridges, skyscrapers, offshore drilling platforms, and nuclear power plants.
8. Certification and Standards:
   • These welding rods are manufactured to meet industry standards, such as AWS A5.1, ensuring their quality and reliability.
9. Pre-Baking Requirement:
   • Before welding, the electrodes must be baked at 400°C for 1-2 hours to remove moisture and ensure optimal welding performance. This pre-baking step is crucial for achieving high-quality welds.
10. Available in Different Sizes:
    • E7018 welding rods are available in various diameters, such as 2.5mm, 3.2mm, 4.0mm, and 5.0mm, to suit different welding needs and applications.

In summary, TOKO brand Welding Rods E7018 are characterized by their high tensile strength, low hydrogen content, excellent low temperature toughness, high welding efficiency, versatility, environmental friendliness, wide range of applications, certification to industry standards, pre-baking requirement, and availability in different sizes. These features make them a popular choice among welders and engineers working on critical and demanding welding projects.
