8018-C3 is a 1 % nickel, low hydrogen, iron powder electrode used for-welding high strength steels in the 70-80,000 psi tensile strength range. This electrode offers high deposition efficiency, producing excellent quality weld deposits with good impact properties even at temperatures as low as -60°F. USA 8018-C3 is also used for fillet welds on high strength quenched and tempered steels such as ASTM A514 and A517. USA 8018-C3 may be used in any position with AC or DC (reverse polarity). TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Cor-ten, Mayari R, LT75, N-A-Z High Tensile, V-55, Yoloy HS. military and commercial applications.
