BLUME® E10018-G Datasheet

Q: What materials can BLUME® E10018-G weld?
A: It’s ideal for high-strength low-alloy steels where 100 ksi tensile strength and low hydrogen weld metal are required — such as in pressure vessels, bridges, and offshore platforms.

Q: Can it be used in all welding positions?
A: Yes, BLUME® E10018-G performs excellently in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions with a stable and easy-to-control arc.

Q: What makes BLUME® electrodes different from others?
A: BLUME® electrodes are manufactured with ultra-low hydrogen control, high-purity alloys, and precision coating technology — ensuring stronger, cleaner, and more reliable welds.

Q: What are the storage recommendations?
A: Keep the electrodes in a dry storage oven at 250°F (120°C). If moisture exposure occurs, rebake at 650°F (340°C) for 1 hour before use.

Q: Is it suitable for code-quality welding?
A: Absolutely. BLUME® E10018-G meets and exceeds AWS and ASME specifications, making it ideal for critical and certified welding applications.
