ERT12-1/8 - Exocor ERTi-2 Titanium TIG Rod 1/8" - 5lb Tube

Exocor ERTi-2: The Standard for Industrial Titanium Welding

Welders Supply is proud to offer the Exocor ERTi-2 Titanium TIG Welding Rod, the industry standard for joining commercially pure titanium. This 1/8-inch diameter filler metal is engineered to meet AWS A5.16 specifications, delivering consistent mechanical properties and exceptional weldability. Grade 2 titanium (ERTi-2) is favored for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides, metallic salts, and oxidizing acids, making it a staple in the chemical, power generation, and desalination industries.

Fabricators choose ERTi-2 for its good impact toughness and formability. Unlike higher-strength alloys that can be brittle, Grade 2 allows for some deformation, which is crucial in piping systems and heat exchangers subject to thermal expansion or mechanical stress. The 1/8" size is substantial enough for multi-pass welds on plate and pipe, providing good bead profile and fusion. Exocor ensures that every rod is cleaned and processed to reduce hydrogen and oxygen pickup, which are the primary causes of weld failure in titanium applications.

Key Applications:

• Chemical Processing: Tanks, vessels, and piping handling aggressive media.
• Power Generation: Condensers and heat exchangers.
• Marine: Components exposed to seawater and salt spray.
• Aerospace: Non-structural components requiring light weight and corrosion resistance.

For best results, use a DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) setup with a pure argon shield. The 5lb tube packaging ensures you have sufficient material for substantial projects while keeping the remaining stock clean and straight. Trust Exocor ERTi-2 for your critical titanium welding tasks.
