When you need a TIG rod that is forgiving and easy to run, reach for our ER70S-6 Mild Steel TIG Rods. Sized at 2.5mm (compatible with 3/32" collets), these rods are the workhorse of the welding shop. The "S6" in the name stands for higher silicon and manganese content, which basically means this rod helps clean the puddle for you. If you are welding on steel that isn't perfectly shiny or has a bit of mill scale left on it, this rod will help float those impurities to the surface, keeping your weld metal clean and solid.
Welders love this rod for its smooth flow and excellent bead appearance. It wets out nicely at the toes of the weld, making it easier to get that stack-of-dimes look without fighting the puddle. The copper coating ensures the rod slides smoothly through your fingers and makes good electrical contact, preventing the rod from rusting in the tube between jobs. Whether you are working on a roll cage, fixing a bracket, or running a root pass on pipe, this rod gives you the control and quality you need.
Each 10lb tube is packed with 36-inch long rods, giving you plenty of material to keep the arc lit. It is designed for use with 100% Argon shielding gas on DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) polarity. Stop struggling with porosity and start laying down professional-grade welds with a filler metal designed to handle real-world shop conditions.
