The AWS E7018 electrode represents the pinnacle of manual metal arc welding (MMAW) technology for carbon steel applications. As a premier China AWS E7018 manufacturer, Shijiazhuang Tianqiao Welding Materials Co., Ltd. understands that this is not merely a consumable but a critical component in ensuring the structural integrity of skyscrapers, bridges, and pressure vessels. The "70" denotes a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi, while the "1" indicates its versatility in all welding positions. The "8" signifies the low-hydrogen iron powder coating, designed to minimize hydrogen-induced cracking.
In the context of modern engineering, E7018 is favored for its "low hydrogen" properties. Hydrogen embrittlement is the silent enemy of high-strength steel welds. Our factory employs advanced potassium-type low-hydrogen coatings that ensure a stable arc, low spatter, and easy slag removal. By maintaining strict control over the moisture content in our specialized drying ovens, we produce electrodes that meet the most stringent international standards for "H4" or "H8" hydrogen levels, providing the ultimate reliability for global infrastructure projects.
Shijiazhuang Tianqiao Welding Materials Co., Ltd was founded in 2007 located in 30 kilometers in the southwest of shijiazhuang. Our factory traffic is very convenient just 20 kilometers to the west of 107 national highway, also near to the Shixing and Jingzan highway. We have strong technical force, complete product testing equipment so that we can keep stable product quality. Our company is composed of production department, technical department, R&D department, QC & Laboratory, Sale department, Logistic department.
Under the spirit of "Supreme Quality, Honesty, Win-win cooperation", we are willing to achieve common development and create brilliance with all of customers. We are looking forward to establish mutual benefit, long-term and stable relationship with customers and distributors all over the world. We believe we can achieve splendid future by our efforts together.
How we leverage smart manufacturing to deliver AWS E7018 globally.
Our E7018 production utilizes fully automated extrusion lines that ensure consistent coating thickness and concentricity. This precision reduces arc wander and ensures a uniform protective gas shield during welding.
Every batch of AWS E7018 is tracked via a digital MES (Manufacturing Execution System). From the raw iron powder to the final vacuum packaging, we provide full traceability for critical industrial audits.
Located near the 107 National Highway and major expressways, we offer rapid transit to Tianjin Port, ensuring that high-volume orders for AWS E7018 reach international markets with minimal lead time.
Our AWS E7018 electrodes are engineered for the world's most demanding sectors:
Tianqiao is actively researching "Zero-Fume" flux technologies to reduce the carbon footprint and improve the respiratory health of welders, aligning with global ESG standards.
We are optimizing the wire core and coating stability of our E7018 series to support collaborative robots (Cobots) in automated fabrication shops, ensuring seamless integration with AI-driven welding systems.
Our R&D department is pushing the impact values of E7018-1 to maintain superior toughness at -45°C, targeting Arctic exploration and LNG storage applications.
Our products are 100% exported and meet international standards for US, Europe, South America, and Middle East markets. We provide ISO, CE, and AWS compliance documentation with every shipment.
We provide comprehensive OEM services for global distributors, including customized packaging, branding, and specialized flux adjustments to meet local market preferences.
Our technical team provides on-site or remote consulting to help international clients optimize their welding procedures (WPS) using our AWS E7018 electrodes.
