ESAB 126232R150 OK Tigrod 12.62 3.2x1000mm

The ESAB 126232R150 OK Tigrod 12.62 Stainless Steel TIG Rod is a 3.2mm x 1000mm (1/8” x 40”) ER307-type filler rod, specifically designed for TIG (GTAW) welding applications that require high ductility, crack resistance, and toughness. This rod is primarily used for welding austenitic manganese steels, dissimilar steels, and buffer layers before hardfacing.

The OK Tigrod 12.62 offers exceptional strength and resistance to impact, even in sub-zero temperatures, making it suitable for applications in heavy machinery, railways, and hard-wearing industrial components. With excellent resistance to hot cracking, this rod is often used for repairing and joining high-manganese steels (Hadfield steel) and other difficult-to-weld materials.

Features:

• ER307-Type Stainless Steel Filler Metal: Designed for dissimilar metal welding, manganese steels, and buffer layers.
• High Toughness & Ductility: Provides strong, impact-resistant welds, even at low temperatures.
• Crack & Hot Cracking Resistance: Ensures reliable, defect-free welds in hard-to-weld materials.
• Excellent Work-Hardening Properties: Suitable for high-wear applications where surface toughness is essential.
• 40-Inch Rod Length (1000mm): Allows for longer welding runs with minimal interruptions.
• 5 kg (11 lb) Box: Ensures ample supply for industrial welding and repair applications.

Markets:

• Railway & Heavy Equipment Repair: Used for joining and repairing high-manganese steel components.
