Value Brand 30XN80 36'' TIG Welding Rod 0.045" AWS ER70S-2 1 lb

SKU CH-QHFZ-7KWDQ

Carbon-steel TIG rod, 0.045 in diameter and 36 in long, AWS ER70S-2 rated for 70 ksi tensile strength

  • TypeWelding Supplies
  • ER70S-2 classification suits carbon-steel TIG jobs
  • 36 in rods feed smoothly in all positions
  • 045 in diameter matches common torch setups
  • 70 ksi tensile strength delivers reliable welds
  • 58 ksi yield strength resists deformation under load

TIG Rod for Carbon-Steel Joints

This 36-inch TIG welding rod is classified AWS ER70S-2 and intended for carbon-steel-to-carbon-steel work. It suits fabricators and repair technicians who need a 0.045-inch filler for flat, horizontal, overhead or vertical positions.

AWS ER70S-2 Classification Decides Fit

The rod carries a tensile strength of 70 ksi and a minimum yield of 58 ksi, matching the ER70S-2 specification exactly. Buyers who require a different AWS class or a non-carbon-steel base metal cannot use this product.

Simple Hand-Feed with Standard Prep

The 1-pound pack feeds straight from the tube into a TIG torch running DCEN current. Common issues arise if the base metal is not clean or if the welder selects the wrong polarity for the joint position.

Questions about this item

What does the 70 ksi tensile strength mean when the rod is in a real machine?

It means the deposited weld metal must withstand at least 70 ksi of pulling force before breaking, as required by the AWS ER70S-2 classification for carbon-steel TIG welds.

How does the ER70S-2 classification cap what I can weld in practice?

The ER70S-2 designation limits the rod to carbon-steel-to-carbon-steel joints using DCEN polarity on flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down or vertical-up positions.

What does the 0.045 in diameter and 36 in length require for fit or mounting?

The 0.045 in diameter fits standard TIG torch collets for that size, and the 36 in length feeds by hand without a wire feeder.
