ATOM ARC 8018-W
Atom Arc 8018-W is an E8018-W2 all-position low hydrogen electrode designed for welding low-alloy, high-strength "weathering" steels.
Features
Atom Arc 8018-W electrodes are designed specifically for welding the low-alloy, high-strength "weathering" steels, such as ASTM A588, A242, Cor-Ten, and Mayari R®. The uniform color blend of weld deposit with "weathered" steel makes these electrodes an excellent choice when architectural appearance is important.

Extra Info
Preheat should be used on hardenable steels to prevent the formation of a hard heat-affected zone. Preheat may also be required in welding heavy sections
