Specifications

4043 is a good general filler metal for most aluminum
applications. Remember 2xxx and 7xxx series aluminum is
generally not recommended if the application requires
welding.
5356 is used for 5xxx series aluminum and is generally
preferred if the finished piece will be anodized.
ER70S-6 is generally used for mild steel welding.
ER70S-2 is highly recommended for welding 4130 chrome
moly tubing in many applications.
ER80S-D2 is recommended for welding 4130 chrome moly
tubing if a higher strength, less ductile weld is required. If
your weld will be heat treated to obtain optimum strength,
then use a filler metal which matches the chemistry of
your tubing, which neither 70S-2 nor 80S-D2 wires do.
Generally speaking, use a " diameter filler rod for
applications where the material is " and less. Use a "
diameter rod for " and thicker.
HTP Coolant List $18.95 | Sale $14.21
If your welding applications are subject to freezing temperatures,
you’d better put HTP Coolant, Anti-Freeze and Pump Lubricant at

Filler Rod for TIG Welding
In TIG welding, the filler rod is fed into the molten puddle
by hand. The choice of filler rod is extremely important as
the rod must correctly match the material and alloy you will be
welding. The thickness of the material to be welded
determines the diameter of the filler rod.
Here are some good rules of thumb to help you select the
correct filler metal:
HTP offers you high quality filler rods in affordable quantities.
All filler rod is packaged in 1 lb. containers to keep your filler
rod fresh and contaminant free.

Selecting the correct tungsten electrode is important to
getting high-quality welds and making your welding easier.
Some important factors to be considered in making the right
choice are type of power source (Inverter or transformer),
material to be welded (steel, aluminum or stainless steel) and
the thickness of the material.
HTP offers the following premium quality tungsten ground to a
high quality finish. All tungsten is 7" long.
Pure Tungsten (TP) – green tip – Readily forms a ball on the
end. It is generally used with transformer-based power
sources for AC welding of aluminum.
2% Thoriated Tungsten (TT2) – red tip – This tungsten is the
most common tungsten currently being used. It is generally
utilized for DC welding of steel and stainless steel and offers
good overall performance. A drawback is that this tungsten
has a low level radiation hazard.
2% Ceriated Tungsten (TC2) – grey tip – 2% ceriated is an
excellent substitute for 2% thoriated tungsten if you are using a
transformer-based power source for DC welding. This
tungsten is popular for thinner materials because it requires

less amperage to start. It offers a stable arc and can be used for
both AC and DC welding with inverter power sources.
1½% Lanthanated Tungsten (TL2) – gold tip – 1½%
lanthanated is also a great substitute for 2% thoriated
tungsten. It offers good arc starting characteristics and longer
life than 2% thoriated. It can be used for both AC and DC
welding with both inverter and transformer power sources.
