6010 penetrates deeper than 7018 does. It is a "fast freeze" rod - the puddle solidifies quickly. There's not much slag and it chips off easily. It also requires DC electrode-positive polarity. If you have an AC-only welder like a Lincoln AC-225, get 6011 which is almost the same rod but it will run on either AC or DC. Most guys who use 6010-series rods are welding pipe. Guys who weld bridge decking grab this rod first because of its penetration.
7018 is a rod with low-hydrogen flux. It produces a LOT prettier weld than the 6000-series rods do, but it's got to be stored in a rod oven because moisture in the air changes the way it welds. These are generally used for structural welding.
These are two of the most general-purpose rods out there.
no i found only one point 7018(low Hyde) pls clearly it
what is the difference between 7018 and 7018-1
7018 structural 6010 root, 7018 cover for pipe
6013 is normal arc electrode which is used for light jobs like sheet welding or tank making but when it comes to heavy construction jobs where strength required is more 7018(Low Hydrogen) Arc Electrode is used like boilers, heavy structures etc. Working with 6013 is far easier than 7018, which requires welder's skills. Neatness in finishing is also more with 6013 than 7018. any further info. on construction : nangalsuri@rediffmail.com Surinder Singh
any electrode with the first two digits 60 are 60000 psi tensile strength ex a 7018 would have 70000 psi tensile strength
Actually 7018 is a low hydrogen electrode. Some electrodes produce a gas containing hydrogen to protect the molten puddle from oxygen which can destroy the metal. (Oxidization = rust) The 18 series produces very little if any hydrogen. These electrodes must be kept dry as moisture is water (H2O- 2 parts hydrogen one part oxygen).
The only time I welded corten I used 7018 electrodes. I was told that elements in the corten mixed with the electrode in the weld giving it rust resistant capabilities.
use a xx1x electrode such as a 6010 or 7018. i like around 77-82 amps for a 6010. point the rod about 5 degrees down and do small circles up while watching your puddle to maintain a consistent bead. start your tie ins a half inch above where you finished then quickly work your way back down to tie in and continue your progress up.

According to Lincoln Electric's website, "H4" identifies electrodes meeting the requirements of 4 ml average diffusible hydrogen content in 100g of deposited weld metal when tested in the "as-received" condition.
