EX3470000001560TL0 - Exocor ER347 Stainless Steel TIG Rod 5/32" (10lb Tube)

Industrial Grade ER347 Stainless Steel TIG Rods

The Exocor ER347 TIG Rod (5/32" diameter) is a premium stainless steel filler metal designed for critical industrial applications requiring high resistance to intergranular corrosion. Packaged in a durable 10lb tube, this rod is formulated with Niobium (Columbium) as a stabilizing element. This addition is crucial for welding base metals of similar composition, specifically ASTM 347 and 321 stainless steels, which are often used in environments subject to severe corrosion and high temperatures.

In industrial fabrication, maintaining the integrity of the weld zone against carbide precipitation is essential. The ER347 classification ensures that the weld metal retains its corrosion resistance even after exposure to temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F. This makes it a staple inventory item for MRO operations servicing chemical processing plants, refineries, and food processing facilities where equipment longevity and safety are paramount. The 5/32" diameter allows for higher deposition rates on thicker sections of material, improving productivity in heavy fabrication tasks.

Exocor is known for consistent chemistry and surface cleanliness. These TIG rods are manufactured to meet strict AWS A5.9 standards, ensuring reliable mechanical properties and X-ray quality welds. For procurement managers and facility engineers, choosing Exocor ER347 means reducing the risk of weld failure in high-stress, high-temperature piping and vessel systems.
