ESAB Atom Arc 8018 for Weathering / CORTEN Steel

ESAB Atom Arc 8018 (E8018-C3 H4R)

Atom Arc 8018 electrodes deposit 1% Ni weld metal. They are used primarily to weld high-tensile steels in the 70-80 ksi (483-552 MPa) tensile strength range, especially
where notch toughness at temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) is required. The 1% nickel addition makes this electrode a great choice for matching base metal properties of weathering or CORTEN steel. (A588)
