Electrodes with a diameter of 2 (5/64) to 4 (5/32) mm (in) are designed for welding in all spatial positions, except for the vertical method from top to bottom, with a diameter of 5 (3/16) mm (in) - for lower, horizontal on vertical plane and vertically from bottom to top.
Special properties
electrodes are characterized by increased welding productivity and strength of the joint metal with special metallurgical purity and low content of diffusible hydrogen in the deposited metal
possibility of welding on alternating current excludes the action of the magnet blowing
stable transfer of electrode metal during welding ensures the low spatter, better formation of the weld joint and ease of welding work performance
Monolith 7018-1 is general purpose, low-hydrogen, easy-to-use electrode (easy weld on AC, DC+) with good mechanical properties for welding of mild steels. Monolith 7018-1 is an excellent all around performer with good welder appeal, covering many applications for mild and low alloy steels, performs well on low open circuit voltage. It could be used in bridge construction, welding structural steel, general construction.
Electrodes MONOLITH RC are differed from similar products of other manufacturers by a value and intensity of welding aerosol evolution and manganese formation during the welding process. This was achieved by selecting the high-quality raw materials and high-level control of technological processes in electrodes manufacture. The E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS Ukraine and Institution of Medicine Labour of the AMS Ukraine confirmed that manganese precipitation was reduced for more than 30%, the evolution of harmful elements in welding aerosol was reduced for more than 28%.
Electrodes MONOLITH RC are characterized by an easy primary and secondary arc exciting, soft and stable arc burning, provide low spatter loss, uniform melting of the coating, excellent weld metal formation, easy slag crust removal.
Electrodes allow welding at the lowest currents. For the small-diameter electrodes, the welding can be performed from power sources, connected to conventional mains.
Easy use of electrodes gives an opportunity to perform welding by a beginning welder.
Welding in hard-to-reach places. Feasibility of electrode bending without the coating damage.
It is possible to perform welding on oxidized, greased and painted surfaces.
