Stable arc on AC delivers the same 70 ksi minimum tensile, all-position low-hydrogen weld metal as DC+ E7018 - the practical pick for code-quality work on AC-only machines or where DC capacity is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"parent-spec-overview\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003ctable class=\"grade-spec-table\"\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAWS classification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAWS A5.1\/A5.1M E7018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMinimum tensile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 ksi minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePolarity \/ position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDC+ or AC, all positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailable diameters\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/32 in through 1\/4 in (varies by package)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackage formats\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esee size variants below\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"parent-buy-confidence\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy buy Lincoln 7018-AC from WeldingMart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand-authorized distributor\u003c\/strong\u003e - factory-fresh stock, full warranty pass-through\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMultiple diameter and package variants in stock - select the SKU below that matches your job\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUS warehouse fulfillment, 1 business day ship time\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e30-day returns on unopened cartons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Lincoln Electric","offers":[{"title":"3\/32 in, 50 lb Easy Open Can","offer_id":43638081388695,"sku":"ED031732","price":225.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/8 in, 50 lb Easy Open Can","offer_id":43638081781911,"sku":"ED031734","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/7140\/4695\/files\/lincoln-ed031732-lincoln-7018-ac-stick-smaw-electrode-332x14-in-50-lb-easy-open-can-lincoln-electric.jpg?v=1765594867","url":"https:\/\/weldingmart.com\/products\/lincoln-7018-ac-stick-smaw-welding-rod","provider":"WeldingMart.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
