RG60116 - R60 Oxy-Fuel Welding Rod 1.6mm (1/16") - 10lb Tube

Smooth Flowing Rod for Oxy-Acetylene Welding

When you need to lay down a reliable bead with your torch, the R60 1.6mm Steel Rod is your go-to filler metal. Unlike standard brazing rods, this is a true fusion welding rod designed to melt and fuse with the base metal, creating a joint that is as strong as the steel itself. Whether you are repairing an exhaust system, working on vintage auto body panels, or welding pipe in the field, this rod gives you the control you need.

Why Welders Choose R60:

• Superior Puddle Control: The molten pool is fluid yet manageable, allowing you to wash the weld into the toes without undercutting.
• No Flux Needed: On clean, bright mild steel, you can weld straight away without the mess of flux. Just set a neutral flame and go.
• Clean Results: The copper coating ensures the rod stays rust-free in your truck or shop, so it's ready when you are.

This 1/16" (1.6mm) size is incredibly versatile. It's thin enough to handle delicate sheet metal work without blowing through, but carries enough heat and filler for general repairs. If you are used to R45, stepping up to R60 gives you that extra peace of mind with higher strength (60ksi) welds, ensuring your repairs hold up under stress.
