TTU937 - ER70S-2 Mild Steel TIG Welding Rod 2.5mm - 1lb Tube

Reliable Mild Steel TIG Rods for Maintenance and Repair

For workshops, hobbyists, and maintenance departments requiring a versatile and forgiving filler metal, the ER70S-2 Mild Steel TIG Rod (2.5mm) in a convenient 1lb tube is the perfect inventory addition. Unlike standard S-6 wires, the S-2 classification represents a premium "triple deoxidized" chemistry containing Zirconium, Titanium, and Aluminum. This unique formulation makes it the go-to choice for repair jobs where base metals cannot be perfectly cleaned. Whether you are fixing agricultural equipment, automotive parts, or general structural steel that has seen better days, this rod helps ensure a sound weld without the need for excessive surface preparation.

The 1lb tube packaging is specifically designed for low-volume users or mobile welding operations. Large 10lb or 50lb boxes often lead to wasted material as unused rods sit exposed to humidity and shop dust, eventually rusting before they can be used. This compact, resealable tube keeps your filler metal clean, straight, and ready for action, ensuring you get the full value out of every purchase. It fits easily into a welding truck organizer or a small shop cabinet, making it an essential "problem solver" to keep on hand for unexpected steel repairs.

This 2.5mm (approximately 3/32") diameter rod is an excellent middle-ground size, offering enough deposition for structural joints while still being controllable at lower amperages for thinner sections. It flows smoothly and wets out evenly, providing a professional appearance that satisfies customers. By stocking this high-grade ER70S-2 rod, you provide a solution that handles the reality of real-world welding conditions—rust, mill scale, and oil—ensuring your projects hold up under pressure.
