OVERVIEW

Reliable Stamped TIG Rods for Chrome-Moly Projects

When the job calls for welding Chrome-Moly steel, precision and trust in your consumables are everything. The Exocor ER90S-B3 TIG Rod is engineered for professional welders who demand smooth feeding, consistent arc stability, and defect-free welds. This 3/32" (0.093") rod is the perfect size for a wide range of applications, offering enough body for fill passes while remaining controllable for intricate root passes on pipe and tubing. Packaged in a convenient 10 lb tube, these rods are protected from the shop environment until you are ready to burn them.

A major frustration in any busy shop is the potential for mixing up filler metals, especially when they look identical to standard mild steel rods. Exocor solves this problem by stamping the classification directly onto the rod. This simple but essential feature gives you peace of mind, knowing exactly what you are holding in your hand before you strike an arc. It also makes passing QC inspections a breeze, as the auditor can visually confirm the correct alloy was used right down to the stub.

The ER90S-B3 alloy is the industry standard for welding P22 and T22 materials, commonly found in high-pressure steam lines, boilers, and race car chassis components where high strength is required. The 2.25% Chromium and 1% Molybdenum chemistry provides the weld deposit with the guts to withstand high heat and stress without failing. When you weld with Exocor, you get a puddle that wets out nicely at the toes, minimizing undercutting and reducing the time you spend grinding or reworking. The clean wire surface ensures you aren't introducing contaminants into the weld pool, helping you achieve X-ray quality results on every joint.

Remember, welding Chrome-Moly usually requires specific heat control procedures, including pre-heating the workpiece and controlling interpass temperatures, to prevent the weld from becoming brittle. Always consult your welding procedure specification (WPS). With Exocor ER90S-B3, you are equipping yourself with a filler metal that works as hard as you do, delivering professional results on critical infrastructure and heavy equipment repairs.

FAQ

ER90S-B3 contains nominally 2.25% Chromium and 1% Molybdenum. This composition is designed to match the mechanical and thermal properties of P22 and T22 base metals.

The rod is stamped with its classification (ER90S-B3) to provide immediate visual identification. This prevents material mix-ups in the shop and aids in quality control inspections.

For Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) with ER90S-B3, 100% Argon is the standard and recommended shielding gas to ensure a clean, stable arc.

This item is 0.093 inches in diameter, which is approximately 3/32" or 2.4mm. It is a versatile size for both root and fill passes.

Yes, welding Chrome-Moly steels typically requires pre-heating the base metal and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) to relieve stresses and prevent cracking.

The '90' in the AWS classification ER90S-B3 indicates a minimum tensile strength of 90,000 psi, making it suitable for high-strength structural applications.

While it can physically weld mild steel, it is not recommended due to cost and the risk of cracking if proper heat treatment isn't followed. It is specifically designed for Cr-Mo alloys.

This product comes in a 10 lb tube, which is a standard industry package size for TIG cut lengths.
