$930.10/5 lb tubeWhen your shop takes on a titanium job, you need a filler metal that is consistent, clean, and reliable. The Exocor ERTi-2 TIG Rod in 3/32" diameter is the industry standard for welding Grade 2 titanium, offering the perfect middle ground between strength and formability. Whether you are fabricating custom exhaust systems for motorsports, repairing marine hardware, or building industrial chemical tanks, this rod flows smoothly and wets out evenly, helping you achieve that coveted bright silver weld bead.
Titanium is unforgiving of contamination, and that starts with your filler metal. These rods come in a sealed 5 lb tube to ensure they arrive factory-clean. The 3/32" size is versatile enough to handle root passes on pipe or fill passes on thicker plate. Because ERTi-2 is Commercially Pure (CP), it is softer and more ductile than alloyed titanium (like Grade 5), making it much easier to feed and manipulate in the puddle. It is compatible with parent materials of Grades 1 through 4, simplifying your inventory if you work with various CP grades.
Welding titanium is all about shielding. Unlike steel, hot titanium will absorb oxygen and nitrogen from the air instantly, turning your weld brittle. Always use a gas lens on your torch for laminar flow, and ensure you have a trailing shield and proper back-purging setup. If your weld turns blue, purple, or white/powdery, you have contamination. With the Exocor ERTi-2, you are starting with a high-purity consumable; the rest is up to your prep and gas coverage. Keep your gloves clean, use acetone on your rod before welding, and keep the hot end of the filler wire inside the gas shield at all times to prevent tip oxidation.
