INTRODUCTION TO TIG WELDING FOR CARBON STEEL

• TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, also known as
  GTAW
• Importance of filler rods for strong,
  high-quality welds
• Focus on carbon steel and mild steel applications

3
CHARACTERISTICS OF CARBON STEEL TIG FILLER RODS

• Strength and Durability Matches base metal
  strength
• Ductility Withstands stress and strain
• Corrosion Resistance Some rods offer enhanced
  resistance
• Ease of Use Smooth, clean welds with minimal
  defects

UNDERSTANDING MILD STEEL AND FILLER RODS

COMMON TYPES OF TIG FILLER RODS FOR CARBON STEEL

• ER70S-2 Versatile, ideal for slightly
  contaminated steels
• ER70S-6 Best for moderate surface contaminants
• ER70S-3 General-purpose rod for clean surfaces
• Mention other rods available on platforms like
  Shop Castron Electrode

5
SPECIAL TIG FILLER RODS

• Mild Steel Rods For low-carbon steel welding
• Sheet Metal Rods Designed for thin metal,
  precise control
• Stainless to Mild Steel For dissimilar metal
  welding

• Austenitic stainless steel composition
• Used for clean, aesthetically pleasing welds

7
BEST PRACTICES FOR USING TIG FILLER RODS

• Proper cleaning of base metal and filler rod
• Matching filler rod properties to base material
• Controlled heat input to avoid warping or
  cracking
• Preheating and post-weld treatment for thicker
  sections

8
APPLICATIONS

• Used in construction, automotive, pipelines, and
  shipbuilding
• Ideal for high-precision welds
• Preferred for piping systems and architectural
  structures
