E8018-g

How does that defer from 7018? I suppose it has the same low hydrogen flux composition and higher tensile strength? Can it be used on mild steel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reply:Your supposition is correct & yes it can be used on mild steel.You will find very little difference between the two electrodes in use.
Reply:i welded some ladders on  elect utility towers, and it called for 8018c3.    its the only time i used it, it took an hour to adjust, to get it to flow right.    if i remeber right , it liked a longer arc, than the 7018's i use.     i dont know what suffix g stands for, and barely remeberr what the c3 meant, but it i think it had a bit of nickel, or some other small ercentage of  anti corrosion in it to keep it from rusting the ladders off
Reply:Yup. Higher tensile. The "-G" means "No required chemistry". Guessing it means plain jane 8018. I use alot of 8018-C1, 2%-3% nickel. Makes for a longer lasting repair on shovel booms. 7018 just isn't up to the task. The C1 means 1% nickel, also good stuff.
