That weld test at Local 290 in Portland made me switch from 6010 to 7018 for root passes
I was struggling with x-ray results until the old timer running the test showed me how 7018 gives you way better fusion on thick plate, and now I won't go back for root passes on pressure vessels; has anyone else had better luck with 7018 over 6010 on heavy wall pipe?

Did you find the 7018 cleaned up the slag issues too? I started running 7018 on my root passes a few years back and it’s night and day for getting through X-ray on heavy wall stuff. That old timer knew what he was talking about.
