ED033163 - Lincoln Excalibur 10018-D2 MR 1/8" Stick Electrode (50lb Can)

Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 10018-D2 MR® Stick Electrode

The Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 10018-D2 MR® is a premium low alloy stick electrode designed for critical welding applications requiring high tensile strength and specific chemical composition controls. This electrode is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industries such as offshore construction, petroleum processing, and pipeline fabrication. It carries the AWS classification E10018-D2 H4R, indicating its suitability for welding high-strength steels with a tensile strength of approximately 100,000 psi, while maintaining very low diffusible hydrogen levels.

One of the standout features of this product is its Q2 Lot® certification. This designation ensures that the electrode comes from a manufacturing lot with controlled chemistry and mechanical properties, providing welders and engineers with the assurance needed for code-critical work. The electrode is specifically formulated for welding Chromium-molybdenum and other low alloy steels, including AISI 4130, 4140, 8630, as well as ASTM A182 and A336 Grades F22. This makes it an essential consumable for projects involving pressure vessels, process piping, and heavy structural components where material integrity is paramount.

The "MR" in the product name stands for Moisture Resistant. The coating is designed to resist moisture pick-up in humid environments, which is critical for preventing hydrogen-induced cracking in high-strength welds. The 1/8-inch diameter and 14-inch length provide a versatile size for various joint configurations and positions. Packaged in a 50 lb Easy Open Can, these electrodes are protected during storage and transport, ensuring they arrive ready for immediate use. The Excalibur® line is renowned for its superior arc performance, offering a stable arc, minimal spatter, and excellent bead appearance.

For industrial MRO professionals, the Excalibur® 10018-D2 MR® represents a reliable solution for maintenance and repair of alloy steel equipment. Its ability to deliver consistent mechanical properties and its ease of use make it a preferred choice for certified welders working on high-stakes projects.
