About Lincoln 7018-AC

Lincoln 7018-AC is an AWS A5.1 E7018 H8 low-hydrogen iron-powder basic-coated SMAW electrode engineered specifically to run on AC welding machines, including low open-circuit-voltage (low-OCV) farm and shop buzzboxes that struggle with standard E7018. 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.
