Dear All
Completely agree with Mr, Hegazy.
Mr. limesh, there is nothing as such E7018 B2 (E7018 B2L is available).
ASME SECii part c, the best suitable covered electrode is E8018 B2, which you can use without PWHT with temperbead technique.
If you want to use the bare electrode or info regarding temperbead technique,Pls let me know.

>i have specified "not E-7018B2" in my reply since it is not listed in
AWS classification. only 8018B2 is listed in addition to 7018B2L.
there is no restriction on use of both of these grades.
