The R60 1.6mm (1/16") Welding Rod is a premium quality oxy-fuel gas welding rod designed for joining low carbon and low alloy steels. Conforming to AWS A5.2 Class R60 specifications, this rod is engineered to deliver welds with a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi, making it significantly stronger than standard R45 rods. It is the preferred choice for critical applications where structural integrity and ductility are paramount.
Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel, the rod features a controlled chemistry containing manganese and silicon as deoxidizers. This composition helps to scavenge impurities from the weld puddle, resulting in sound, porosity-free deposits. The exterior is copper-coated, a critical feature that serves dual purposes: it protects the rod from atmospheric corrosion during storage and promotes smooth, consistent metal transfer during the welding process.
This 10lb tube of 36-inch cut lengths is optimized for industrial environments, including pipe fabrication, structural steel maintenance, and general manufacturing. The 1.6mm diameter offers precision control for thin-walled tubing and sheet metal, while still providing enough deposition for medium-thickness plate. It is compatible with standard oxy-acetylene torch setups and requires a neutral flame for optimal results.
