If you are building custom exhausts or repairing catalytic converters, the Exocor ER439Ti TIG Rod is the filler metal you need in your arsenal. Designed specifically for the automotive world, this rod is the go-to solution for welding 409 and 439 stainless steel tubing. Why choose ER439Ti over standard stainless rods? It's all about the titanium stabilization. This special chemistry ensures that your welds don't just look good—they hold up against the intense heat and corrosive byproducts of combustion engines without cracking or rusting out prematurely. It's the professional's choice for ensuring that a custom header or muffler install lasts as long as the car itself.
The .045-inch diameter is the sweet spot for exhaust work. It is thin enough to prevent burn-through on light-gauge piping but substantial enough to lay down a solid bead in a single pass. TIG welding with this rod gives you the ultimate control, allowing for those stack-of-dimes welds that car enthusiasts love to see. The arc stability is excellent, providing a smooth, fluid puddle that wets out evenly into the joint. Whether you are working on a classic restoration or a high-performance race car, using the correct filler metal matches the base material's expansion rates, preventing the dreaded cracks that can form with mismatched alloys.
This 10lb tube is perfect for busy shops. It keeps your rods straight, clean, and ready for action. No more hunting for loose rods or dealing with bent tips. When setting up your machine, remember to run DCEN and use pure Argon gas for the best results. The Exocor ER439Ti flows smoothly and finishes clean, minimizing post-weld cleanup time. Don't compromise on your exhaust fabrication projects; use the rod engineered for the heat. Upgrade your welding supplies with Exocor's specialized stainless TIG rods and deliver results that stand the test of time and temperature.
