OVERVIEW

High-Performance Low Alloy TIG Wire

The Exocor ER80S-D2 TIG Rod (1/8" diameter) is a premium low-alloy steel filler metal designed for welding high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels. Engineered with approximately 0.50% Molybdenum and elevated levels of Manganese and Silicon, this wire delivers exceptional strength and ductility. It is specifically formulated to produce X-ray quality welds even over less-than-perfect surfaces, thanks to its powerful deoxidizing properties which effectively control porosity.

This rod is an excellent choice for industrial applications requiring high tensile strength (minimum 80,000 psi) and impact resistance. It is widely utilized in the fabrication of pressure vessels, boilers, and high-pressure piping systems where structural integrity under stress is paramount. The ER80S-D2 classification also makes it a preferred filler metal for joining carbon-manganese steels and various grades of chrome-moly steels, such as AISI 4130 and 4140, often found in aerospace and motorsports components.

Packaged in a convenient 10lb tube, these 36-inch cut lengths are cleaned and processed to ensure smooth feeding and a stable arc. The wire's composition not only enhances mechanical properties but also improves the weld bead appearance, offering excellent wetting action and tie-in. For welders and fabricators seeking reliability in critical structural welds, the Exocor ER80S-D2 provides the consistent performance required for code-compliant work.

FAQ

ER80S-D2 contains Molybdenum and higher levels of Manganese, providing higher tensile strength (80 ksi vs 70 ksi) and better high-temperature properties compared to ER70S-2.

100% Argon is the standard shielding gas for TIG welding with ER80S-D2 rods.

Yes, ER80S-D2 is commonly used to weld AISI 4130 and 4140 steels, especially for applications like roll cages where heat treatment after welding may not be performed.

Yes, the high Manganese and Silicon content provides excellent deoxidation, making it more tolerant of mill scale and minor surface contaminants than some other rods, though cleaning is always recommended.

The weld deposit typically has a minimum tensile strength of 80,000 psi (80 ksi) as per AWS A5.28 specifications.

Preheat requirements depend on the base material thickness and grade (e.g., 4130 often requires preheat), not just the rod itself. Always consult the welding procedure specification.

DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) is the standard polarity for TIG welding steel with this rod.

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the tube closed when not in use to prevent moisture pickup and surface oxidation.
