EXTI20000000930T00 - ERTi-2 Grade 2 Titanium TIG Welding Rod 3/32" (2.4mm)

Industrial Grade ERTi-2 Titanium TIG Filler Metal

The ERTi-2 Titanium TIG Rod is a premium quality, commercially pure (CP) titanium filler metal designed for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process. Classified under AWS A5.16, this Grade 2 titanium alloy is widely recognized as the "workhorse" of the industrial titanium market. It provides an exceptional balance of moderate tensile strength and high ductility, making it superior to Grade 1 in strength while maintaining excellent formability. This specific rod features a 0.093-inch (approx. 2.4mm) diameter and comes in a 36-inch cut length, packaged in a durable 5lb tube to ensure material cleanliness and integrity during storage.

Engineered for critical applications, ERTi-2 is primarily utilized for welding ASTM Grade 2 base metals, but it is also compatible with Grades 1, 3, and 4. Its defining characteristic is its outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in strongly oxidizing environments. This makes it the filler metal of choice for industries such as chemical processing, pulp and paper manufacturing, and power generation. The rod produces welds with good impact toughness and is resistant to erosion-corrosion in seawater, making it suitable for marine components as well.

Successful titanium welding requires meticulous attention to cleanliness and gas shielding. The ERTi-2 rods are manufactured with a clean, high-quality finish to minimize the risk of porosity and embrittlement caused by contaminants like hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. When welding with this alloy, it is imperative to use 100% Argon shielding gas and often a trailing shield to protect the cooling weld pool from atmospheric contamination. This product delivers consistent feeding and arc stability, ensuring high-quality X-ray quality welds for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and piping systems.
