E9018M


Alloy Type:

E9018-M is an electrode used for welding higher strength steels when tensile strength in excess of 90 ksi is required.  The coating on this electrode is specially formulated to resist moisture pick-up in conditions of high heat and humidity.  It’s resistance to moisture reabsorption also helps prevent hydrogen cracking and aids in elimination of starting porosity.

 

Typical Applications:   joining HY-90, HY-80, T-1 and other high tensile steels

 

AWS Class: E9018-M H4R Certification:    AWS A5.5/A5.5M:2006
Alloy:  E9018-M ASME SFA A5.5

 

Welding Position:    F, V, OH, H Current:

AC-DCEP

 

Tensile Strength, kpsi: 90
Yield Strength, kpsi: 78-90*
Elongation %: 24

 

* For 3/32” electrodes, the upper value for the yield strength may be 5 kpsi higher
