Product Information
The ESAB Atom Arc 9018 is available in different variations (e.g., E9018-CM, E9018-B91), designed for specific high-strength, creep-resistant steels.
AWS Classification: E9018-CM or E9018-B91-H4R (depending on the specific product code).
Material: Low hydrogen iron powder, alloy steel.
Key Features:
Moisture resistant coating: The flux coating is designed to resist moisture pickup in opened containers, which provides an extra degree of reliability in high humidity environments.
Applications: Primarily used for welding 2 1/2% Cr - 1% Mo steels (for 9018-CM) or 9% Cr - 1% Mo steels (for 9018-B91), commonly found in power generation components, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and piping.
Tensile Strength: Offers high tensile strength (around 102 ksi for E9018-CM)
