$930.10/5 lb tubeThe Exocor ERTi-2 Titanium TIG Rod is a high-quality filler metal designed for the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of commercially pure (CP) titanium alloys. Manufactured to meet the rigorous requirements of AWS A5.16 and ASME SFA 5.16, this ERTi-2 classification represents the "workhorse" of the titanium welding industry. It is formulated to weld Titanium Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4, providing a weld deposit that matches the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the most commonly used industrial titanium grade, Grade 2.
Titanium welding demands exceptional purity to prevent embrittlement. This product features strictly controlled interstitial elements—specifically oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen—to ensure the finished weld maintains high ductility and toughness. The 3/32" (2.4mm) diameter is ideal for medium-gauge base metals, offering excellent deposition rates while allowing for precise puddle control. The rods are chemically cleaned and packaged in sealed 5 lb tubes to prevent surface contamination from atmospheric moisture, oils, or dust, which are critical failure points in titanium joining.
ERTi-2 typically exhibits a minimum tensile strength of 50,000 psi and good elongation, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate strength and excellent formability. It is widely utilized in the chemical processing industry for heat exchangers, reaction vessels, and piping systems where resistance to chlorides, hypochlorites, and nitric acid is paramount. It is also a standard choice for power generation condensers and desalination plants. When welding with ERTi-2, operators must utilize high-purity Argon (99.999%) for both the primary shield and backing gas (purging) to prevent oxidation, indicated by weld discoloration.
