ER70S-2 TIG Rod for Carbon Steel
This 10 lb pack contains 36 in rods of 0.125 in diameter classified to AWS ER70S-2 for TIG welding carbon steel. The filler metal delivers a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi and a yield strength of 58 ksi as welded. It is rated for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical positions using DCEN current.
Shops welding mild steel in all positions
The rod suits fabricators who need a general-purpose carbon-steel filler for structural, maintenance or repair work on similar base metal. It is not intended for stainless steel, aluminium or other alloy joints that require a different AWS classification. Buyers needing a smaller package or a different diameter should look elsewhere.
AWS ER70S-2 classification and 0.125 in diameter
These two details confirm the rod matches the welding procedure specification for the job. The 10 lb tube provides enough length for extended production runs without frequent changeovers. Verify the DCEN polarity and joint design before starting.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 10 lb pack or a smaller size for occasional TIG work?
The 10 lb pack provides enough rod for multiple projects and reduces the frequency of reordering.
What does the 70 ksi tensile strength mean for my finished welds?
A 70 ksi rating indicates the deposited weld metal meets the minimum strength requirement for typical carbon steel fabrication and structural work.
How does the ER70S-2 classification affect what I can weld?
ER70S-2 is a silicon-killed carbon steel rod suitable for welding carbon steel to carbon steel in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions using DCEN current.
