BLUME® E7018-1 Datasheet

Q: What’s the main difference between BLUME® E7018-1 and regular E7018?
A: BLUME® E7018-1 offers enhanced impact toughness and improved mechanical properties, making it ideal for critical applications in low-temperature environments and heavy structural welding.

Q: Can I use this electrode for all-position welding?
A: Yes, BLUME® E7018-1 is designed for all-position welding (flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead) while maintaining arc stability and deposition efficiency.

Q: Does it require special storage?
A: To maintain its low-hydrogen characteristics, store BLUME® E7018-1 in a dry oven at 250°F–300°F when not in use.

Q: Is it approved for code-quality work?
A: Absolutely. BLUME® E7018-1 meets AWS A5.1 E7018-1 and is trusted for code-compliant structural and pressure vessel fabrication.
