Canadian owned and operated.
When your project demands a weld that won't fail under pressure or freezing temperatures, reach for the Bohler E7018-1 stick electrode. This 2.5mm rod is a favorite among professional welders for its incredibly smooth run and forgiving characteristics. Unlike standard 7018 rods, the "-1" designation means this electrode has been tested to deliver superior toughness even in extreme cold, giving you peace of mind on structural jobs, heavy equipment repairs, and pipe welding.
You will notice the difference the moment you strike an arc. The Bohler E7018-1 lights up easily and maintains a steady, focused puddle with minimal spatter, keeping your workpiece clean and your vision clear. It handles vertical and overhead positions with ease, allowing you to lay down flat, consistent beads without fighting the puddle. The slag cools to a brittle crust that often curls up and falls off on its own, saving you time on chipping and grinding.
Whether you are welding mild steel or low-alloy structural steel, this rod delivers X-ray quality results every time. The 2.5mm size is perfect for controlling heat input on smaller parts or getting deep into the root of a joint. Store these rods in a dry oven to maintain their low-hydrogen status and ensure the highest quality performance. Upgrade your stick welding game with the reliability and precision of Bohler welding consumables.

When your project demands the strongest possible bond, reach for the Bohler E7018-1 Stick Electrode. This 2.5mm welding rod is a favorite among professional welders who need a "low-hi" (low hydrogen) rod that runs smooth and passes inspection every time. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery, fabricating structural steel beams, or working on pressure piping, this Bohler electrode gives you the confidence that your weld will hold up under stress.
One of the standout features of this Bohler rod is its forgiveness. It is engineered to weld over steels that might not be perfectly pure, handling high carbon content better than many competitors. The arc is stable and soft, reducing spatter and making it easier to control the puddle, even when you are welding out of position. For vertical-up welds, the freezing characteristics of the slag help hold the shelf, allowing you to stack dimes with precision. The slag peels off easily in most cases, saving you time on chipping and grinding between passes.
The E7018-1 designation isn't just a number—it means this rod has been tested for superior toughness even in freezing conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor equipment repairs, trailer hitches, and any structure exposed to harsh Canadian winters. The 2.5mm size is perfect for general fabrication, allowing you to weld material from 1/8" up to unlimited thickness with multi-pass techniques. Ensure your rod oven is warm and your stinger is ready; with Bohler, you are welding with world-class consumables.
