ESAB OK Tigrod 12.64 Copper-Coated TIG Rod
ESAB OK Tigrod 12.64 is a copper-coated TIG rod classified as **ER70S-6**, designed for the GTAW (TIG) welding of unalloyed and low-alloyed carbon-manganese steels. Compared to other rods like **OK Tigrod 12.61**, this rod features a higher content of silicon and manganese, which increases the strength of the weld metal and promotes low sensitivity to surface impurities. These characteristics make **OK Tigrod 12.64** ideal for general structural and engineering applications where smooth, sound welds are essential.
The high silicon content also contributes to the rod’s ability to produce high-quality welds, even when working with surfaces that may have impurities. Its versatility makes it suitable for applications across industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and general fabrication.
