Lincoln Stick Electrode Selection Guide
Electrode Name AWS Number Polarity General Description
  Fleetweld® 5P E6010 DC+ Fleetweld 5P is a great choice for welding on dirty, rusty, greasy, or painted steel - especially in vertical or overhead applications.
  Fleetweld® 35 E6011 AC
DC±		 Operators consistantly give this electrode high marks. This quality Lincoln product is a proven performer for sheet metal welding applications and AC pipe welding. Fleetweld 35 is a great electrode to use on jobs where the steel isn't clean.
  Fleetweld® 180 E6011 AC
DC±		 Got a small AC welder? Here's your electrode! Fleetweld 180 offers excellent arc stability for excellent performance with power sources as low as 50V open-circuit voltage (OCV). A great stick electrode with the ability to start easily on low open circuit voltage welders.
  Fleetweld® 7 E6012 DC-
AC		 Got a variety of jobs that a single all-position electrode has to handle? Choose Lincoln Electric's Fleetweld 7. This versatile, high speed electrode is a real workhorse on sheet metal lap joints and fillet welds. It's also a great choice for poor fit-up jobs.
  Fleetweld® 37 E6013 AC
DC±		 Here's a terrific all-position electrode for low amperage welding on sheet metal - especially in applications where appearance is important. We've designed Fleetweld 37 for excellent  performance with smaller AC welders with low open-circuit voltages. It's an excellent choice for jobs involving irregular or short welds that require a change in position.
  Fleetweld® 47 E7014 AC
DC±		 Fleetweld 47 features high deposition rates for fast performance. Operators love this easy-to-use, all- position electrode! Choose Fleetweld 47 for sheet metal lap joints and fillet welds, general purpose plate welding, and maintenance jobs.
  Lincoln 7018AC E7018 H8 AC
DC±		 AC? DC? This electrode performs beautifully either way! Lincoln 7018AC is a great choice for low  open circuit voltage AC power sources. Cold restrikes are no problem with this versatile, all position electrode.
  Jet® LH-78 MR E7018 H4R DC+
AC		 Great for jobs on mild steel and some high-strength low-alloy steels. It also tolerates high sulphur and high silicon steels. Jet LH78MR features higher tensile strength for stress-relieved properties.
