OVERVIEW

Smooth Running Mild Steel TIG Rods for Every Job

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.

FAQ

For TIG welding mild steel with ER70S-6, use 100% Argon gas.

ER70S-6 has higher levels of silicon and manganese deoxidizers than ER70S-2. This makes S6 better suited for welding on dirty or rusty steel, while S2 is often preferred for extremely clean, critical pipe welds.

They are very close. 3/32 inch is approximately 2.38mm. 2.5mm is slightly larger but is often used interchangeably in general fabrication contexts, though precision applications may require exact sizing.

Use DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative), also known as Straight Polarity, for TIG welding steel.

Yes, ER70S-6 is suitable for both single-pass and multi-pass welding applications.

Yes, these rods are copper-coated to prevent oxidation (rust) during storage and to improve electrical conductivity.

The '70' in ER70S-6 indicates a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 psi.
