OVERVIEW

High-Strength Low-Alloy TIG Welding Rod

The Exocor ER80S-D2 is a premium quality low-alloy steel TIG welding rod designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-strength fabrication. This 1/16-inch diameter rod is formulated with approximately 0.50% Molybdenum and roughly 1.75% Manganese. This specific chemical composition provides the weld deposit with significantly higher tensile strength and yield strength compared to standard mild steel electrodes like ER70S-6. The addition of Molybdenum specifically enhances the high-temperature strength and creep resistance of the weldment, making it an excellent choice for pressure vessels and piping systems operating under stress.

Engineered for precision and reliability, this filler metal produces X-ray quality welds that exhibit excellent ductility and impact toughness, even at lower temperatures. It is particularly effective for welding a variety of low-alloy steels, including AISI 4130, 4140, 8620, and other carbon-molybdenum or manganese-molybdenum steels. The ER80S-D2 classification ensures that the filler metal matches the mechanical properties of these base materials, preventing weak points in the structural integrity of the assembly. The rod is designed for use with 100% Argon shielding gas on DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) polarity, ensuring a stable arc and clean deposit.

Each 10lb tube contains 36-inch cut lengths, carefully packaged to prevent moisture contamination and oxidation during storage. The manufacturing process employed by Exocor guarantees consistent diameter control and surface cleanliness, reducing the risk of porosity and inclusions in the final weld. Whether used for single-pass or multi-pass applications, this rod delivers a smooth bead profile with minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup time.

FAQ

ER80S-D2 contains higher levels of Manganese and Molybdenum, providing higher tensile strength (80,000 psi vs 70,000 psi) and better performance on low-alloy steels compared to the mild steel ER70S-2.

Yes, you can use it on mild steel, but it will be 'overmatching' the base metal strength. It is generally more expensive than standard ER70S-6, so it is usually reserved for high-strength applications.

For TIG welding with ER80S-D2, 100% Argon is the standard shielding gas.

Yes, ER80S-D2 is a very common choice for welding 4130 chrome-moly tubing, especially for applications like roll cages and aircraft frames where heat treatment might not be performed post-weld.

These rods are 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm) in diameter.

Pre-heating depends on the base material type and thickness (e.g., thick 4140), but the rod itself does not dictate pre-heat; the base metal procedure does.

Use DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) for TIG welding with this rod.

This package contains 10 pounds of welding rod.
