E 6018
AWS/ASME SFA – 5.1 :Application/properties:
This electrode has a weld with good tensile strength and high toughness. The weld metal of this electrode has good mechanical resistance to dynamic loads, including earthquakes. Therefore, this electrode is a suitable replacement for the E6013 electrode in welding metal structures. In addition, this electrode is recommended for parts that are under restraint or have high thickness.
