ES 8018-C1 is a 2.5% nickel-alloyed LMA electrode suitable for the welding of low-alloy steels with impact requirements down to -60°C.
The composition of the weld metal is such that good, low- temperature impact properties are obtained, even when welding vertically up.
The weld metal of ES 8018-C1 is also noted for its good corrosion resistance to sea-water and sulphuric acid fumes.
