AWS E8018-B2 electrodes are low-hydrogen chromium-molybdenum alloy steel consumables, typically featuring around 1.25% chromium and 0.5% molybdenum. This unique blend enhances strength, creep resistance, and toughness at higher temperatures. The weld metal produced boasts a minimum tensile strength of about 550 MPa, along with good impact toughness and stable mechanical properties after the right post-weld heat treatment. These electrodes also show remarkable resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking and deliver smooth arc characteristics.
