E7018 1 Eutherme Lh1

This document provides information on a basic coated low hydrogen iron powder electrode. It has excellent welding properties with good slag removal and minimal spatter. The weld metal has good low temperature impact strength and low hydrogen content, making it suitable for welding carbon steels sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. It can be used in all welding positions except vertical down and has increased weld deposit, a neat weld profile, and high tensile strength and toughness at sub-zero temperatures down to -50°C.
