Description: AFM E8018-C2 is a low hydrogen electrode that contains about 3.50% Ni. It produces weld metal with increased strength without being air-hardenable or with increased notch toughness at temperatures as low as -175¨¬F (-115¨¬C).
Applications: AFM E8018-C2 is used for welding 2%-4% nickel-bearing steels in low temperature applications where toughness of the weld metal at lower temperatures is important.
