Classified as AWS A5.16 ERTi-2, this rod corresponds to Grade 2 titanium, which is the &#8220;workhorse&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8243; (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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"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.
