OVERVIEW

Reliable TIG Rods for Chrome-Moly and High-Strength Steel

When your project involves high-strength steel or chrome-moly tubing, you need a filler metal that can stand up to the challenge. The Exocor ER80S-D2 TIG rod is the go-to solution for professional welders working on roll cages, chassis fabrication, and high-pressure piping. This 1/16-inch rod is infused with Manganese and Molybdenum, giving your welds the extra backbone they need to match the strength of base materials like 4130 and 4140 steel. Unlike standard mild steel rods, ER80S-D2 ensures that the weld seam is as tough and durable as the metal around it.

Welders appreciate the Exocor ER80S-D2 for its smooth running characteristics and puddle control. The rod melts cleanly and flows evenly, allowing for the creation of the classic "stack of dimes" look that TIG welders strive for. Because it contains deoxidizers, it also helps handle minor surface contaminants, although clean metal is always recommended for the best results. The resulting weld deposit is porosity-free and highly ductile, meaning it can absorb stress without cracking—a critical feature for automotive and aerospace applications where vibration and load are constant factors.

Packaged in a durable 10lb tube, these 36-inch rods are easy to store and transport around the shop or job site. The 1/16-inch diameter is versatile enough for thin-wall tubing and medium-thickness plate, giving you flexibility across different jobs. Whether you are repairing heavy equipment, building a custom frame, or welding pressure pipes, Exocor's ER80S-D2 provides the consistency and performance professional fabricators trust.

Ideal Applications:

  • Motorsports and Chassis Fabrication (4130 Chrome-Moly)
  • High-Pressure Steam and Water Piping
  • Heavy Equipment Repair
  • Petrochemical Industry Fabrication
  • Bicycle Frame Building

FAQ

ER80S-D2 contains higher levels of Manganese and Molybdenum, providing higher tensile strength (80,000 psi vs 70,000 psi) and better performance on low-alloy steels compared to the mild steel ER70S-2.

Yes, you can use it on mild steel, but it will be 'overmatching' the base metal strength. It is generally more expensive than standard ER70S-6, so it is usually reserved for high-strength applications.

For TIG welding with ER80S-D2, 100% Argon is the standard shielding gas.

Yes, ER80S-D2 is a very common choice for welding 4130 chrome-moly tubing, especially for applications like roll cages and aircraft frames where heat treatment might not be performed post-weld.

These rods are 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm) in diameter.

Pre-heating depends on the base material type and thickness (e.g., thick 4140), but the rod itself does not dictate pre-heat; the base metal procedure does.

Use DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) for TIG welding with this rod.

This package contains 10 pounds of welding rod.
