This product is formulated with a triple-deoxidized chemistry containing Zirconium, Titanium, and Aluminum, in addition to the standard Silicon and Manganese found in other mild steel wires. This unique composition makes ER70S-2 the preferred choice for welding on surfaces that are not perfectly clean, providing superior resistance to porosity caused by rust, mill scale, oil, or dirt.<\/p>\n<p>Engineered for critical applications, this rod produces high-quality, defect-free weld deposits with excellent ductility and impact strength. It is widely used in pipe welding, pressure vessel fabrication, and maintenance repair operations where base metal preparation may be difficult. The 1.6mm diameter offers excellent versatility, suitable for root passes on pipe as well as general fabrication of thin-walled tubing and sheet metal. Packaged in a durable 1lb tube, this product ensures your filler metal remains straight, clean, and ready for use, minimizing waste for smaller projects or specialized repairs.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical Specifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AWS Classification:<\/strong> ER70S-2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diameter:<\/strong> 1.6mm (1\/16 inch)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tensile Strength:<\/strong> Typically 70,000+ PSI<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shielding Gas:<\/strong> 100% Argon<\/li>\n<li><strong>Current:<\/strong> DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Used for single pass TIG welding of steel as well as used with some welding steels with a dirty or rusty surface.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1962,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1752613","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-steel-mig-and-tig-wires","product_cat-welding-wires-and-electrodes","pa_aws-spec-er70s-2","pa_brand-generic","pa_diameter-1-6mm-2","pa_diameter-1-6mm","pa_grade-s2","pa_length-36-inches","pa_packaging-1lb-tube","pa_packaging-1lb-tube-2","pa_packaging-description-1-lb-tube","pa_packaging-description-1lb-tube-3","pa_polarity-dc","pa_weld-process-tig","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ER70S-2 Mild Steel TIG Rod 1.6mm (1\/16&quot;) - 1lb Tube - Josef Gas<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Buy ER70S-2 Mild Steel TIG Rods (1.6mm) in a 1lb tube.
