ESAB OK Tigrod 12.64 TIG Welding Rod, G4Si1 / ER70S-6, Ø 2.4 x 1000 mm, 5 kg, 126424R150

Product information "ESAB OK Tigrod 12.64 TIG Welding Rod, G4Si1 / ER70S-6, Ø 2.4 x 1000 mm, 5 kg, 126424R150"

The OK Tigrod 12.64 is designed for TIG welding of structural steel, fine-grained structural steel and pressure vessel steel; its notched impact energy is 150 J at -40 °C. This version has a diameter of 2.4 mm, a rod length of 1,000 mm and comes in a 5 kg pack. The rod is also available in a thinner version (2.0 mm) and a thicker version (3.2 mm).

Typical applications

The rod is intended for root and fillet welds on unalloyed and low-alloy steels, including general-purpose structural steels, fine-grained structural steels and pressure vessel steels. The steel grades listed range from P235/S235 to P460/S460 and similar, with type testing carried out down to -40 °C. The rods are welded in an argon atmosphere (I1). At -50 °C, the notched impact energy is still 90 J.

Construction and classification

It is a copper-clad solid rod, wire type G4Si1 / ER70S-6, alloy type carbon-manganese steel. According to EN ISO 636-A, the wire is designated W 4Si1 and the weld metal W 46 5 4Si1; according to SFA/AWS A5.18, it is designated ER70S-6. The wire contains 0.074% C, 1.68% Mn and 0.95% Si. The classification, analysis and characteristic values are the same for all four diameters in this range; only the rod diameter differs.

Test values according to EN and AWS

  • EN, untreated: yield strength 525 MPa, tensile strength 595 MPa, elongation at break 26 %
  • AWS, untreated: yield strength 510 MPa, tensile strength 610 MPa, elongation at break 30 %
  • Notched impact energy according to EN: 150 J at -40 °C and 90 J at -50 °C

Analysis of the pure weld metal: 0.08% C, 1.28% Mn, 0.80% Si, 0.013% S, 0.015% P.
