OVERVIEW

The Go-To Rod for Dirty Steel and Root Passes

When you are out in the field or in the shop dealing with less-than-perfect steel, the Harris ER70S-2 TIG Rod is the problem solver you need in your arsenal. Unlike standard S-6 wire, this "Triple Deoxidized" rod is specifically formulated to fight back against rust, mill scale, oil, and dirt. If you can't get the metal perfectly clean, the ER70S-2 helps pull those impurities out of the puddle, preventing the pinholes and porosity that can ruin a weld and force you to grind it out and start over.

This 3/32" rod is a favorite among pipe welders for laying down that critical root pass. It flows smoothly, bridges gaps effectively, and freezes predictably, giving you the control you need to get full penetration without blowing through. It produces a flat, smooth bead that ties in easily, making your hot pass and fill passes that much smoother. Whether you are working on mild steel pipe, repairing structural frames, or fabricating sheet metal, this rod delivers professional, X-ray quality results that stand up to inspection.

Packaged in a convenient 10 lb tube, these 36-inch rods are easy to store and transport. The Harris brand is synonymous with consistency, so you know that every rod in the box will burn the same way. Stop fighting your puddle and start welding with confidence. Use the Harris ER70S-2 for those tough jobs where surface preparation is difficult or when the steel grade is unknown, and experience the difference a premium deoxidized rod makes in your daily fabrication work.

FAQ

This rod is classified as AWS A5.18 ER70S-2.

ER70S-2 is triple deoxidized with Aluminum, Titanium, and Zirconium, making it superior for welding over rust and mill scale compared to ER70S-6, which relies primarily on Silicon and Manganese.

No, this is a carbon steel rod. For stainless steel, you would typically need an ER308L or similar stainless filler.

This rod is designed for use with DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative), also known as DCSP (Straight Polarity).

Yes, it is exceptionally good for pipe welding, especially for the root pass where defect-free penetration is critical.

This package is a 10 lb tube.

The weld deposit has a typical tensile strength of 78,000 psi.

While clean metal is always best, this rod is designed to handle rust, dirt, and mill scale better than most other mild steel rods.
