Metrode E11018-M description: All the consumables are used for a range of high strength low alloy steels. The E11018-M and Tufmet 3NiMo electrodes in particular are used for military applications by the MoD and US Navy for construction and repair of naval craft and submarines. The Tufmet 1NiMo was developed for the offshore industry where high strength and –50°C toughness is required in the as-welded condition. All of the consumables also have applications for general structural steel fabrications in HSLA steels, which may be used for cranes, earth moving equipment, and other highly stressed structural components.
