OVERVIEW

Professional Grade C-32 TIG Filler Metal

Maximize your repair capabilities with the C-32 TIG Welding Rod, a premium consumable formulated for build-up and dimensional restoration. This 1/8-inch (3.2mm) diameter rod is essential for welders and fabricators working in heavy equipment repair, tool and die maintenance, and general industrial refurbishment. The C-32 grade is specifically developed to produce a weld deposit that is tough, crack-resistant, and machinable, typically achieving a hardness around 32 HRC.

When parts like shafts, rollers, and coupling housings wear down, replacing them can be costly and time-consuming. The C-32 TIG rod allows you to rebuild these components effectively. Its formulation ensures a smooth arc, minimal spatter, and excellent fusion with base metals, resulting in a clean, porosity-free deposit. Because the resulting weld metal is machinable with standard carbide tools, it streamlines the post-weld machining process, allowing you to return parts to service faster.

Each 10 lb (4.54 kg) tube contains 36-inch straight lengths, cleaned and prepared for immediate use. This packaging size is ideal for job shops and maintenance departments that need a reliable stock of build-up rod on hand. Choose the C-32 TIG rod for applications where you need a dependable, moderate-hardness filler metal that bridges the gap between standard mild steel and non-machinable hardfacing alloys.

FAQ

The C-32 designation generally refers to a deposit hardness of approximately 30-35 HRC (Rockwell C), making it tough yet machinable.

Yes, the deposit is designed to be machinable with standard carbide tooling, which is ideal for parts that need to be turned or milled back to size.

These rods are 1/8 inch (3.2mm) in diameter and 36 inches in length.

This is a TIG (GTAW) cut length rod intended for Tungsten Inert Gas welding.

It is considered a build-up or moderate hardfacing rod. It is not intended for extreme abrasion resistance but rather for restoring dimensions and providing a tough surface.

It comes in a 10 lb (4.54 kg) tube to protect the rods from damage and moisture.

Yes, C-32 is often used as a cushion layer or underlayment before applying harder, non-machinable hardfacing alloys.
