E7018 H4R is a moisture resistant, hydrogen controlled, vacuum packed, premium coated electrode which is
welder friendly and is recommended for welding of mild and medium carbon steel, high strength steel, cast steel
and problematic steels. The weld metal is clean and has lowest level of impurities thus having unique properties
of resistance to ageing.
All maintenance applications including welding of all types of carbon-manganese steels, high tensile, heavy
structures, plants and subject to static or dynamic loading. Can be used as a buffer layer before hard facing.

- Low Hydrogen Coating – Helps prevent cracking
- “R” Designation (Moisture-Resistant) – The “R” means the electrode has improved resistance to moisture pickup
- High Tensile Strength
- All-Position Welding
- Smooth, Stable Arc – Produces a quiet arc with minimal spatter, making it easier to control and cleaner to work with
- Easy Slag Removal – The flux coating creates a slag that peels off relatively easily, improving productivity
- Good Penetration and Bead Appearance
