  1. What size 7018 rod do I use to weld 1/2" cold roll steel

    I have a 225 buzz box welder

    Originally posted on "Hobart Filler Metals Stick Welding Electrodes, 7018, 3/32in. x 14in.L, 5-Lb. Container, Model# 770482"

    1. The manufacturer recommends 5/32" rod to weld 1/2" cold roll steel. 

      Helpful?

    2. If your buzz box is like my Lincoln 225, I'd limit it to 125 amps because of duty cycle, 1/8" 7018 fits nicely. Size and length of cables becomes very important as the current goes up. With a 45 chamfer on each plate for butt weld, likely 6 passes to fill, removing all slag between passes. A flat tee joint you might get away with three passes, again removing all of the slag. I run 75a for 1/8" 6011 and am running against the duty cycle all of the time, even with a high volume fan.

    3. 1/8" will do with multi-pass, but 5/32" rod will be better.

  2. Will 7018 welding rod weld mild steel to cast iron?

    Which welding rod would work best?

    1. While it will hold for a very little while, it will crack. You need a rod designed for that purpose such as Certainium. Very expensive.
