The correct welding amperage used with this rod depends on the rod diameter In turn the rod diameter you use depends on the thickness of the steel you are welding In general the 7018 rod is used with currents up to 225 amps A rule of thumb is to use 30 amps of current per 1 32 inch of rod diameter
WELDING ROD SIZES AND AMPERAGE Once you have selected which electrode to go for the next step comes while selecting the thickness of the rod There are some very simple things to keep in mind As the thickness of the metal you are going to be working on increases so does the thickness of the rod you are going to be using And with an increase in the thickness of the

Now strike the arc and concentrate on the weld puddle bead appearance characteristics while welding Weld a few inches If striking the arc was difficult with rod sticking and or the arc was unstable with a knotted gobbed up bead then your amp are to low Turn your amperage control up a some but only a small increment Try again with a fresh
2021 09 05 nbsp 0183 32 The specific amperage to be used depends primarily on the diameter of the electrode For example an eighth in diameter electrode welds great between 75 and 125 amps Whereas a 5 32 diameter electrode can weld optimally at up to 220 amps
Amperage to rod size by Joshua Virginia say your welding with a 7018 1 8 inch well if you turn the fraction into a decimal that would be 125 which is what runs the best for me same for all the other rods Sure you may have to do some fine tuning but that is in the ballpark
