OVERVIEW

Tough Rods for Tough Jobs: Exocor ER100S-1

When you are welding heavy-duty equipment that takes a beating, standard mild steel rods just won't cut it. You need the Exocor ER100S-1 TIG Rod. This filler metal is built for the big leagues, designed specifically for joining high-strength steels like T-1, HY-80, and HY-100. If you are repairing crane booms, earthmoving equipment, or working on structural steel projects that demand 100,000 psi tensile strength, this is the rod you reach for. It provides the muscle your welds need to withstand extreme stress and heavy loads without cracking or failing.

The 3/32-inch diameter is a versatile size for TIG welding, giving you excellent control over the puddle for root passes or fill passes on thicker sections. Each 10 lb tube is packed with 36-inch straight lengths, clean and ready to feed. One of the standout features of this rod is its smooth flow and excellent wetting action. It lays down a bead that looks as good as it holds, with minimal spatter and easy cleanup. The alloy blend—containing nickel and moly—isn't just for strength; it also gives the weld exceptional toughness, meaning it can handle impacts and cold weather without becoming brittle.

For professional welders, consistency is key. Exocor ensures that every rod in the tube meets strict quality standards, so you don't have to worry about inconsistent burn-off or wandering arcs. You get a stable, focused arc that lets you lay down precision welds exactly where you need them. This rod is perfect for those critical repairs where the integrity of the weld is a safety issue. Don't take chances with inferior filler metals on high-stakes jobs.

Using the ER100S-1 is straightforward for any experienced TIG welder. Use straight Argon gas, ensure your base metal is clean, and follow the preheat procedures required for the specific steel you are welding. The result will be a high-quality, x-ray caliber weld that stands the test of time. Whether you are in the shop fabricating new components or out in the field fixing a breakdown, keeping a tube of Exocor ER100S-1 in your arsenal ensures you are ready for the heavy-duty challenges.

FAQ

This rod is classified as ER100S-1 according to AWS A5.28 standards.

For TIG (GTAW) welding, 100% Argon is the recommended shielding gas.

The weld deposit typically has a minimum tensile strength of 100,000 psi (approx. 690 MPa).

While it can weld mild steel, it is generally overkill and more expensive. It is best reserved for high-strength low-alloy steels.

These are 3/32-inch (2.4mm) diameter rods, cut to 36 inches in length.

Yes, when welding high-strength steels like T-1 or HY-80, preheating is often required to prevent cracking, though the rod itself runs fine.

This product comes in a 10 lb protective tube.

Yes, ER100S-1 provides excellent impact toughness at low temperatures, typically down to -50°F.
