The 880 TIG Rod (3/32" x 36") is a top-tier specialty alloy engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of industrial maintenance and repair operations (MRO). When faced with broken components made from unknown steel grades, or when the task requires joining dissimilar metals, the 880 alloy is the professional's choice. Its unique metallurgical composition provides an exceptional combination of high tensile strength (approximately 120,000 PSI) and superior ductility. This balance allows the weld metal to yield rather than crack under stress, making it ideal for repairing rigid structures and parts subject to heavy fatigue.
Designed for versatility, this rod excels in joining carbon steels to stainless steels, repairing high-manganese components, and rebuilding tool steels. It is particularly effective for die repair, where maintaining the integrity of the base metal is critical. The deposit produced by the 880 rod is dense, free of porosity, and fully machinable, allowing for precise post-weld finishing. In most applications involving mild or medium carbon steels, preheating is not required, which streamlines the repair process and reduces downtime. However, for high-alloy tool steels, following standard preheat procedures is recommended to ensure optimal bond strength and performance.
This 10lb tube of 3/32" rods offers excellent feedability and arc stability, ensuring that even complex repairs can be performed with confidence. Whether you are repairing cracked casings, rebuilding worn shafts, or joining incompatible steel types, the 880 TIG rod delivers a reliable, long-lasting solution that outperforms standard filler metals in critical maintenance scenarios.
