When you are out in the field or working on a repair job where the metal isn't perfectly shiny, you need a TIG rod that forgives. The Exocor ER70S-2 is built exactly for that. Known as the "dirty work" rod, it handles rust, dirt, and mill scale far better than standard ER70S-6 wire. If you are welding pipe roots or structural patches where you can't grind everything down to white metal, this is the filler metal you want in your hand.
The 0.045" diameter gives you exceptional puddle control, allowing for a tight, neat bead profile on thinner gauges or when bridging small gaps. It wets out smoothly and freezes predictably, giving you the confidence to lay down stack-of-dimes welds even in out-of-position scenarios. The triple deoxidizers don't just clean the weld; they help ensure your bead is solid, crack-resistant, and free of pinholes.
Whether you are a pipe welder, a motorsports fabricator, or a general repair tech, keeping a tube of ER70S-2 in the shop is essential. It works beautifully with 100% Argon shielding gas and runs on DCEN (Straight Polarity). Stop fighting porosity on less-than-perfect steel and switch to a rod designed to handle the reality of industrial welding.
