3.7.11 ATOM ARC 7018AC (AWS E7018) - This iron powder low hydrogen electrode was
specifically designed for optimum performance on AC power sources. This electrode features
easier arc starting, improved restrike, and smoother metal transfer than a standard E7018
electrode on AC. Typically, this electrode is used as a tacking electrode.
