OVERVIEW

Premium Grade 2 Titanium TIG Welding Rods

The Exocor ERTi-2 Titanium TIG Rod is a high-performance filler metal designed for welding commercially pure (CP) titanium alloys. Classified as AWS A5.16 ERTi-2, this rod corresponds to Grade 2 titanium, which is the "workhorse" of the industrial titanium market. It offers an optimal balance of moderate tensile strength and reasonable ductility, making it highly versatile for a wide range of fabrication needs. Whether you are repairing chemical processing equipment or fabricating marine components, ERTi-2 ensures a reliable, corrosion-resistant bond.

Titanium welding requires absolute cleanliness and precision, and Exocor delivers with rods that are manufactured to strict standards to minimize surface contaminants. This 1/8" (3.2mm) diameter rod is suitable for welding thicker base materials where higher deposition rates are required. The 36-inch cut lengths allow for excellent manual feeding control during the TIG process. Grade 2 titanium is renowned for its immunity to corrosion in seawater and many chemical environments, making these rods essential for maintenance and repair operations in harsh industrial settings.

Packaged in a durable 5lb tube, these rods are protected from moisture and environmental contaminants until ready for use. When welding with ERTi-2, it is critical to maintain proper inert gas shielding (typically 100% Argon) on both the weld pool and the cooling heat-affected zone to prevent embrittlement. This product is compatible with welding ASTM Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4, providing flexibility for shops handling various CP titanium projects.

FAQ

This rod is classified as AWS A5.16 ERTi-2, which is the standard filler metal for welding Grade 2 commercially pure titanium.

Yes, ERTi-2 is commonly used to weld ASTM Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4. It is generally used when the base metal is Grade 2 or when a balance of strength and ductility is required.

You must use 100% Argon or an Argon/Helium mixture. It is critical to shield the weld pool, the root, and the cooling heat-affected zone to prevent oxidation and embrittlement.

These are 1/8-inch (3.2mm) diameter rods, cut to a standard length of 36 inches.

No, you cannot directly TIG weld titanium to steel using this rod. Titanium and steel form brittle intermetallic compounds. Specialized processes or transition inserts are required.

Store them in the original tube in a clean, dry environment. Titanium must be kept free of oil, grease, and dust to ensure high-quality welds.

Titanium TIG welding is typically performed using DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) to concentrate heat in the work piece.
