AWS E8018-B8 electrodes are low-hydrogen chromium-molybdenum alloy steel consumables, typically featuring around 9% chromium and 1% molybdenum. This specific alloy composition ensures good tensile strength, enhanced creep resistance, and reliable oxidation resistance at high temperatures. The weld metal produced boasts a minimum tensile strength of about 550 MPa, along with good toughness and stable mechanical properties after proper post-weld heat treatment. Additionally, these electrodes excel in resisting hydrogen-induced cracking.
