SPARC-7018 is a Iron powder type electrode designed for medium high tensile steels, subjected to dynanimc loading. Welds are of radiographic quality, ductile and give excellent toughness at minus 30 C. Diffusible hudrogen is 5 ml (max) per 100 gms of weld metal. Weld metal recovery (deposition efficiency) is above 110%heavy coated basic type, hydrogen controlled electrode producing a tough, ductile weld metal for welding heavy sections in mild steels, medium high tensile steels subjected to dynamic loading. Also suitable for cast steels, difficult steels of unknown composition and non machinable deposit on cast irtons, Typical applications include coaches, ships, heavy structures, earthmoving machinery, rotary kin shells, cast iron etc.
