OVERVIEW

Exocor ER320LR Stainless Steel TIG Rod - 3.2mm

Achieve superior weld integrity on Alloy 20 projects with Exocor ER320LR TIG Welding Rods. This 10lb tube of 3.2mm (1/8") cut lengths provides professional welders with a high-performance filler metal engineered to solve the cracking problems often associated with fully austenitic stainless steels. The ER320LR classification features a 'Low Residual' chemistry, significantly reducing trace elements like carbon, silicon, and sulfur to eliminate the risk of hot cracking and crater cracks.

Designed for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process, these rods offer excellent feedability and arc stability. The 3.2mm diameter allows for efficient deposition rates on medium-to-heavy gauge materials, making it a go-to choice for industrial fabrication and maintenance repair operations (MRO). The weld deposit offers exceptional resistance to general corrosion and pitting, particularly in environments containing sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and chlorides.

Whether you are repairing a chemical storage tank or fabricating new process piping, Exocor ER320LR ensures that the weld zone maintains the same mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties as the premium Alloy 20 base metal. Stored in a protective tube to prevent contamination, these rods are an essential inventory item for shops specializing in high-alloy stainless fabrication.

Features & Benefits

  • Crack Resistance: Low residual formulation prevents hot cracking.
  • Corrosion Protection: Matches Alloy 20 resistance to sulfuric acid.
  • Consistent Quality: Manufactured to strict AWS A5.9 standards.
  • Optimal Size: 3.2mm diameter for effective fill passes on thicker stock.

FAQ

ER320LR has 'Low Residuals' of carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur compared to standard ER320. This reduction significantly minimizes the risk of micro-fissuring and hot cracking during welding.

It is primarily used for welding Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20), a super-austenitic stainless steel known for its resistance to sulfuric acid.

100% Argon is the standard shielding gas for TIG welding with ER320LR to ensure a clean, oxidation-free weld.

These rods have a diameter of 3.2mm, which is approximately 1/8 inch.

While it can physically weld them, it is not recommended. ER320LR is much more expensive and designed specifically for Alloy 20. Use ER308L for 304 and ER316L for 316.

DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) is the standard polarity for TIG welding stainless steel.
