The 7018 welding rods are used for pipe welding and structural steel welding and repair welding This low hydrogen usually DC all position electrode can also be used with AC which not many welders may know The 7018 provides a good bead appearance and smooth strong welds It also works on higher strength steels

If using a 7018 rod of 3 32 inch diameter the amperage should be around 50 amps on 1 16 inch thick steel and around 90 amps for 1 8 inch steel For a 1 8 inch rod try starting with 90 amps on 1 8 inch steel and around 140 amps on 188 inch steel Bigger Rods You can use a 5 32 inch diameter rod at 120 amps on steel 188 inch thick
