Uses for E-11018

admin

Does anyone use E-11018 for anything? The only use that I have found was on high impact/vibration areas where 7018 had failed. Any other suggestions? or uses?6"XX P5P8 6G

Reply:I used to use it for welding bit holders onto the asphalt milling machine's cutter drum, but have since switched to a dual shield wire. The high tensile (rod or wire) wears better, but if welded properly I have not noticed any problems with either. If you are laying under the machine with limited time to prep and make "proper" welds, the 11018 may have a better chance of making a crappy weld hold up for a bit longer. Storage seems to be really critical with them.
Reply:I want to say my buddy uses it on some of the high tensile steels on crane repairs, but I'd have to look at what's in the shop. Most of his site work uses stick, while the work done in the shop uses mig. Mig wire I know he has stuff in the 100-120K range for sure, so I'll bet he uses stick in the same range also..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:ive used it to weld on loader bucket edges, for the virbration and impact resistance characteristics. Seems to be very resistant to cracking under dynamically loaded conditions.
Reply:We use it on T-1
Reply:I have used it when welding for the Navy on T-1 and also HY-100 whitch is armor plate steel.
Reply:Appreciate the input so far........with all the armor plate usage that was mentioned so far, made me wonder if tungsten/titanium wear plate could be welded with 11018?6"XX P5P8 6G
Reply:Used primarily on T-1 steels.   MY Murray lowbed gets repaired with that rod whenever the need arises.At the time i talked to the guys at the Lincoln factory they didn't have a FCAW self shielded wire for the welding of T-1 but they were working on a FCAW-S wire for welding on T-1 Steels.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
Reply:We were just given specs from an engineer for a frame repair on a FWD plow truck, the complete front end was twisted and had to be replaced and double framed back behind the rear front spring hangers. He spec'd CHT100 plate and 11018 rods......Mike
Reply:"Do not forget the high strength of this rod"Once was working on a big piece of machinery that needed a large bushing removed. The puller for the bushing needed plates welded onto the cast steel casting. I welded the puller mounts with 7018 in a 5 bead uphill weld. Looked purdy and everything.   They started pulling with 75 ton innerpacs on each side until they gave out. Then they commenced to hitting the lugs I welded on with 16 lb. sledges. Following shortly after was a big BOOM. I went and looked, my 7018 welds to perfection were broke directly in the center and also in the grain boundary's. I covered my face with my hands as an elderly Gent walked up to me and handed me a handful of 11018 and said try this.I welded it up all purdy again and it took 10 hours of intense sledge hammer beating as well as the press........It finally worked and I was hooked on 11018 for high high strength welds. Thank you all for you're input ......Keep on Keepin on!!!   And don;t forget people who know a little bit of somthin.....Last edited by Cofe; 10-06-2009 at 06:28 PM.6"XX P5P8 6G
Reply:I use them on T1 plate, and have used them with good success welding teeth mount on feller buncher saw wheels.I'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......
Reply:Used to reestablish a sharp edge of an anvil for blacksmithing.
Reply:We used to use it on A-514 plate.   I believe it is the same spec as T-1
Reply:What would happen is you welded regular A-36 mild steel with 11018??Would it be really brittle???
