W1060500POP - RG-45 3/32" Copper Coated Mild Steel Gas Welding Rod - 1lb Tube

Reliable Mild Steel Rod for Gas & TIG Welding

If you are looking for that classic, do-it-all rod for your oxy-acetylene setup or need a solid mild steel filler for TIG welding, the Harris RG-45 is a staple for your shop. This 3/32" rod is the bread and butter of gas welding—it flows smoothly, creates a clean puddle, and is incredibly forgiving to work with. Whether you are patching up an old fender, working on an ornamental art project, or just practicing your heat control, this rod delivers consistent results every time.

One of the best things about this RG-45 rod is its copper coating. Not only does it look good, but it also keeps your rods from rusting in the tube, so they are ready to go even if they've been sitting on the shelf for a while. When you are gas welding, you don't need to mess around with flux; just melt it in, puddle the pool, and watch the impurities float to the top. It leaves a weld that is soft enough to hammer, grind, or machine easily, which is perfect for automotive bodywork where you need to smooth things out afterwards.

While it is famous for gas welding, don't overlook it for TIG. It works great as a general mild steel filler metal for GTAW setups, giving you a ductile weld that won't crack easily. The 1lb package is the perfect size for small jobs or hobbyists who don't want to lug around a massive bulk box. It's a high-quality, Italian-made rod that helps you lay down smooth, porosity-free beads on steel plate, pipe, and sheet metal.
