OVERVIEW

Exocor ER312 TIG Rods (3/32") – 10lb Tube

Tackle the toughest welding jobs with Exocor ER312 TIG Welding Rods. Known in the industry as the problem-solver for difficult-to-weld steels, this 3/32" (2.4mm) filler metal is a must-have for any professional welder's arsenal. If you are dealing with cracked parts, dissimilar metals, or mystery steel, ER312 is the solution you need.

The secret to ER312's performance lies in its extremely high tensile strength and resistance to cracking. With a tensile strength exceeding 116,000 psi, it is significantly stronger than standard 308 or 316 stainless rods. The high ferrite content allows it to tolerate dilution from high-carbon or alloyed base metals without forming hot cracks. This makes it the premier choice for welding tool steels, leaf springs, gear teeth, and joining stainless steel to mild steel.

Each 10lb tube contains premium-quality, 36-inch cut lengths that feed smoothly and produce clean, bright welds. The deposit work-hardens in service, providing additional resistance to wear and abrasion. For TIG welding, use 100% Argon shielding gas to achieve optimal results. Don't let difficult repairs slow you down—stock up on Exocor ER312 and be ready for any challenge.

Features & Benefits

FAQ

ER312 is used for welding dissimilar metals, steels of unknown composition, tool steels, and high-carbon steels. It is known for its high crack resistance and strength.

You should use 100% Argon shielding gas for TIG welding with ER312 rods.

Yes, ER312 is one of the best choices for joining mild steel to stainless steel due to its ability to handle dilution without cracking.

These rods are 0.093 inches in diameter, which is commonly referred to as 3/32" (approx. 2.4mm).

The weld deposit typically has a very high tensile strength of approximately 120,000 psi.

While high-nickel rods are preferred for cast iron, ER312 can be used for certain cast iron repairs or as a buffer layer if nickel rods are unavailable.
