The Tech-Rod 190 Stick Electrode is a premium-quality consumable designed for the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) of nickel-copper alloys. Commonly referred to as Monel welding rods, these electrodes are essential for fabrication and repair shops dealing with marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, and heat exchangers. The 1/8-inch (3.2mm) diameter makes this rod highly versatile, allowing for effective welding in various positions while maintaining excellent arc stability and bead appearance.
One of the primary strengths of the Tech-Rod 190 is its ability to handle dissimilar metal joints. It is frequently used to weld nickel-copper alloys to steel or stainless steel, making it a go-to solution for complex maintenance projects where different materials interface. Additionally, it serves as an excellent choice for overlay welding, allowing operators to clad steel surfaces with a corrosion-resistant nickel-copper layer. This extends the service life of components exposed to harsh environments, such as salt water or reducing acids.
Quality assurance is a hallmark of the Tech-Rod brand. These electrodes are Q2 Lot® tested, meaning they undergo rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistency from batch to batch. Users can easily access certificates online that verify the actual deposit chemistry and mechanical properties, providing peace of mind for critical applications. The product is packaged in a 10 lb Easy Open Can, which is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture pickup, ensuring the electrodes are factory-fresh and ready to perform the moment you open the container.
Whether you are repairing a ship's hull, fabricating a chemical tank, or performing maintenance on desalination equipment, the Tech-Rod 190 provides the reliability and performance professional welders demand. Its smooth arc, easy slag removal, and superior crack resistance make it a user-friendly option for both field and shop applications.
