In the realm of structural integrity, the AWS E7018 welding electrode stands as the iron-powder, low-hydrogen "gold standard." As a premier OEM manufacturer, we provide the technical backbone for skyscrapers, bridges, and naval vessels worldwide.
The global demand for E7018 electrodes is currently driven by the massive "Infrastructure Super-Cycle." From the rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia to the renewable energy transition in Europe, E7018 is the essential consumable for high-yield strength steel welding. Unlike general-purpose rods, the E7018's unique coating allows for X-ray quality welds with exceptional impact properties at low temperatures.
The industry is moving toward "Moisture-Resistant" (MR) coatings to eliminate the need for costly baking ovens on-site. Our R&D department is pioneering ultra-low diffusible hydrogen levels (H4R rating), ensuring that even in humid tropical or offshore environments, the risk of hydrogen-induced cold cracking is effectively mitigated.
Founded in 2007, Shijiazhuang Tianqiao Welding Materials Co., Ltd represents the pinnacle of Chinese welding manufacturing expertise. Located strategically near the 107 national highway, our 30km proximity to Shijiazhuang ensures seamless logistics for global export.
Our infrastructure is built on strong technical force and complete product testing equipment. This allows us to maintain a "Stable Quality First" philosophy across our Production, R&D, and Laboratory departments.
In seismic-active zones, E7018 provides the necessary ductility to withstand structural shifts. Our OEM rods are used in the primary frame welding of Grade 50 steel.
With high resistance to moisture and salt-corrosion precursors, our E7018 is the preferred choice for hull fabrication and oil rig maintenance in the North Sea and Gulf regions.
Meeting ASME requirements, our electrodes ensure leak-proof, high-pressure containment for chemical processing plants and boilers.
Most manufacturers focus on the base metal, but as a specialist factory, we focus on the Flux Chemistry. The iron powder in our E7018 coating serves two purposes: increasing the deposition rate (efficiency) and stabilizing the arc even at lower amperages.
Our products include various brands like "Yuanqiao" and "Changshan", covering low carbon steel, heat-resistant steels, and hard surfacing applications. This comprehensive range ensures that whether you are welding Iow alIoy steel or stainless steel, we have a specialized solution.
Our products are one hundred percent exported and have sold worldwide, spanning the US, Europe, South America, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. We believe in the spirit of "Supreme Quality, Honesty, Win-win Cooperation."
By establishing mutual benefit and long-term relationships with distributors, we aim to create a "splendid future" through collaborative effort. Our users value our competetive price and outstanding performance.
