Washington Alloy 11018-M 60lbs Welding Stick Electrode (5/32“)11018M low alloy steel electrodes are used to weld quenched and tempered steels with tensile strengths of up to 110,00 psi such as ASTM A514 and A517, HY80, T 1, HY100 and SSS 100. It has a smooth running arc that deposits very high tensile strength, which may be used in any position, but they are particularly suited for horizontal and downhand welding. This low hydrogen, iron powder electrode produces a fast efficient medium penetration X ray quality
