EX80SB200000930TS2 - Exocor ER80S-B2 Chrome-Moly TIG Rod 3/32" (10lb Tube)

Premium Low-Alloy TIG Filler for High-Temperature Service

The Exocor ER80S-B2 TIG Welding Rod is a high-performance low-alloy steel filler metal specifically engineered for joining creep-resistant steels. Formulated with a nominal composition of 1.25% Chromium and 0.5% Molybdenum, this rod is the industry standard for welding 1-1/4 Cr - 1/2 Mo steels. These base materials are ubiquitous in the power generation, petrochemical, and refinery industries, particularly in applications involving high-pressure piping, boilers, and pressure vessels that operate at elevated temperatures. The addition of chromium and molybdenum provides the weld deposit with significant resistance to creep and corrosion, ensuring structural integrity in harsh service environments.

Compliance with AWS A5.28 specifications guarantees that the Exocor ER80S-B2 meets rigorous quality standards for chemical composition and mechanical properties. When using this filler metal, strict adherence to welding procedures is critical. To avoid cold cracking and ensure the formation of a sound metallurgical bond, preheat and interpass temperatures must be maintained at a minimum of 300°F (150°C). Furthermore, this alloy is classified based on its properties after Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT). Proper stress relief is essential to restore ductility and toughness to the weld zone, making it suitable for its intended service life.

This 10lb tube of 3/32" cut lengths offers a convenient supply for professional fabricators handling critical pipe welding or repair jobs. The rods are manufactured with tight tolerances on diameter and a clean surface finish, promoting smooth feeding and a stable arc under 100% Argon shielding gas. Whether for new construction or maintenance of steam lines and heat exchangers, Exocor ER80S-B2 delivers the reliability required for code-quality welds.
