When you are TIG welding mild steel and need assurance that your weld will hold up, even if the metal isn't perfectly shiny, the ER70S-2 0.035" TIG Rod is your go-to solution. Known in the trade as the "triple deoxidized" rod, it is engineered to fight back against the impurities that cause weak, porous welds. If you are working on repair jobs, older automotive frames, or structural steel that has seen better days, this rod helps pull impurities out of the puddle to leave you with a solid, crack-resistant bead.
The 0.035-inch thickness is a favorite among welders for its versatility. It is thin enough to handle delicate sheet metal work without burning through, yet substantial enough to lay down material for root passes on tubing and pipe. The rod offers a crisp, stable arc when used with DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) and pure Argon gas. You will notice the puddle fluidity is easily controllable, allowing for that stack-of-dimes look that professional TIG welders strive for.
Don't risk your project's integrity with inferior filler metals. ER70S-2 is widely regarded as the most premium mild steel solid wire available. It is capable of producing welds that pass strict X-ray testing, making it suitable for critical applications like roll cages, pressure piping, and heavy equipment repair. Stock up on these 36-inch cut lengths to ensure you are ready for any mild steel challenge that comes into your shop.
