ESAB OK Tigrod 13.23 TIG Rod
ESAB OK Tigrod 13.23 is classified as ER80S-Ni1 under the AWS A5.28 standard. It is a solid TIG rod containing nickel, designed for welding steels requiring high strength. The “ER” stands for a filler rod or wire for welding, and the “80” shows that the weld metal has a tensile strength of 80,000 psi. The “S” indicates it is solid, while “Ni1” highlights the nickel content, which enhances toughness, especially in cold temperatures.
ESAB OK Tigrod 13.23 is a copper-coated, low-alloy TIG rod designed for welding low-temperature fine-grained steels. It contains 0.9% Nickel (Ni) and 0.3% Molybdenum (Mo), making it suitable for critical applications, especially in the offshore industry. The rod provides excellent impact toughness down to -50°C, ensuring reliable weld quality in harsh environments.
