Use the 418 (AWS E7018-1 H4R) model for general-purpose applications. Unit produces a virtually spatter-free arc, and creates a flat weld bead profile with a fine rippled finished appearance. Manufacturer states that the unit reduces rework, welds smoothly through moderate dirt and rust, minimizes cracking and spatter, and offers high impact and temperature resistance. To minimize post-weld cleaning, the unit features an easily removable slag that is self-peeling in many cases.
