36'' ER70S-2 TIG Rod for Carbon Steel
This 36 inch TIG welding rod carries AWS ER70S-2 classification for carbon steel to carbon steel joining. The 3/32 inch diameter suits a range of sheet and plate thicknesses. Each 1 lb pack contains multiple rods for extended fabrication work. It is intended for welders running GTAW processes on mild steel.
Replaces General-Purpose Mild Steel Filler
When a job demands the higher tensile and yield values of the ER70S-2 specification, this rod upgrades from unclassified or lower-grade filler. The 70 ksi tensile strength and 58 ksi yield strength meet code requirements for structural carbon steel. The jump is worth it when inspection calls for documented mechanical properties.
Fits DCEN TIG Set-Ups on Flat to Overhead Positions
The rod runs on direct current electrode negative polarity and qualifies for flat, horizontal, vertical-up, vertical-down and overhead positions. No flux or shielding gas is included; the operator must supply argon or argon-helium cover gas. A compatible TIG torch and power source complete the welding circuit.

Questions about this item
What rod diameter and length fit a 3/32" TIG torch?
The rod is 0.0938 in diameter and 36 in long, matching 3/32" torch consumables.
How do I set up DCEN polarity for ER70S-2 and what step is often missed?
Connect the torch to the negative terminal; the step often missed is confirming the machine is set to DCEN, not AC or DCEP.
When should I replace the rod based on tensile and yield specs?
Replace if welds fall below 70 ksi tensile or 58 ksi yield strength, indicating rod degradation or contamination.
