Westward 14 in E7018AC Carbon-Steel Electrode

This 14 in stick electrode uses an E7018AC classification for carbon-steel welding. It weighs 5 lb and has a 3/32 in diameter. The rod is suited for AC or DCEP current in SMAW processes.

E7018AC Tensile Strength and Current Limits

Minimum tensile strength is rated at 70 ksi with a yield strength of 58 ksi. The coating is formulated for AC and DCEP polarity only; it is not intended for DCEN operation. These mechanical values apply to as-welded deposits on carbon and low-alloy steels.

Check Diameter Compatibility and Prop 65 Notice

Verify that your holder and amperage range accept a 3/32 in rod before ordering. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm. Ensure ventilation and PPE meet local safety requirements.

Questions about this item

Which diameter and length of the 20YD52 electrode should I choose for my job?

This product comes in a 3/32 inch diameter and 14 inch length; the 5 lb package contains electrodes of that single size.

What does the 7018 AWS classification tell me about the weld strength?

The E7018AC designation means the deposited weld metal meets a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi and a minimum yield strength of 58 ksi.

What welding currents can I use with the AC designation?

The electrodes are rated for both AC and DCEP polarity, so they run on alternating current or direct current electrode positive.
