Struggling with porosity when TIG welding steel that isn't perfectly shiny? The ER70S-2 Mild Steel TIG Rod is your solution. Unlike standard S-6 wires, this "S-2" rod is packed with powerful deoxidizers like Zirconium, Titanium, and Aluminum. These elements act as cleaning agents in the weld puddle, fighting off the impurities found in rust, mill scale, and dirty metal. The result is a smooth, strong, and bubble-free weld bead, even when prep work isn't perfect.
This 1lb tube of 1.6mm (1/16") rods is the perfect size for hobbyists, DIY fabricators, and mobile repair welders who don't want to lug around a massive bulk box. The 1/16" size gives you great control for welding sheet metal, roll cages, and automotive parts. Whether you are fixing a rusty exhaust, building a workbench, or practicing your TIG technique, these rods provide the wetting action and puddle fluidity you need for professional-looking results. Keep a tube in your shop to handle those less-than-ideal welding conditions with confidence.
