ESAB® Atom Arc® Carbon Steel Electrode in a 50 lb hermetically sealed container is a low hydrogen moisture-resistant, all position welding tool specially formulated to weld carbon and low alloy steels that includes variety of hardenable steels. C.W.B-CSA W48 certified electrode gives wider operating ranges and minimizes the post weld clean up by featuring smooth weld metal transfer. 1/8" Dia electrode meets the specifications of AWS A5.1 E7018H4R, ASME SFA 5.1, QPL-22200/1, MIL-7018, A.B.S.-2Y/AWS A5.1 E7018, D.N.V.-3Y (H10) and L.R.-3m, 3Ym (H10). Electrode requires preheat to weld heavy sections and is used with hardenable steels that prevent hard heat-affected zone formation that in turn reject tendencies towards quench cracking on cooling.
