ES 8018-B2L is an outstanding welding electrode for higher strength steels with tensile strengths greater than 80,000 psi.
The coating is specially formulated to resist moisture pick-up under cond-itions of high heat and humidity.
The electrode offers resistance to moisture reabsorption, which helps prevent hydrogen cracking and aids in eliminating starting porosity.
ES 8018-B2L is an excellent choice for boiler fabrication and maintenance of pressure piping such as found in steam power generating equip-ment, petrochemical pressure vessels, and che-mical processing equipment and also in the shipbuilding industries.
