  • From: thefabricator.com:Map
  • The letter E indicates an electrode.
  • The first two digits represent the resulting weld's minimum tensile strength, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). For example, the number 70 in a E7018 electrode indicates that the electrode will produce a weld bead with a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 PSI.
  • The third digit represents the welding positions for which the electrode can be used. For example, 1 means the electrode can be used in all positions and 2 means it can be used on flat and horizontal.
  • The fourth digit represents the coating type and the type of welding current (AC, DC, or both) that can be used with the electrode.
  • This is not suitable for corrosion resistant steels. Google: "welding SS" and read!

Use same material wire 316L or 309L. You can weld with E 7018 if you approve a WPS / PQR .
