Introduction
TIG welding demands a filler rod with the utmost consistency, cleanliness, and straightness to ensure a stable arc and high-quality deposit. Our aluminum TIG rods are precision-cut, feature a smooth, clean surface free of contaminants, and are manufactured to uniform lengths. They are ideal for high-integrity joints (e.g., aerospace, piping, pressure vessels) and applications where a clean, aesthetically pleasing weld bead is required, offering superior control for the professional welder.

Repair and joining of cast aluminum components and dissimilar thicknesses.
FAQ
- Q: Is TIG rod chemical composition the same as MIG wire of the same classification?
- A: Yes, the chemical composition adheres to the same AWS A5.10 standard. The difference lies in the final form (cut rod vs. coiled wire) and the surface finish, which is often cleaner on TIG rods due to less friction exposure.
- Q: How do you prevent contamination on TIG rods during the cutting and packing process?
- A: We use automated, high-precision cutting machines and immediate vacuum or hermetic sealing into protective tubes/boxes to minimize handling and exposure to air and moisture.
