TAKADA 385 TIG Welding Rod – High-Performance Stainless Steel Solution

Discover our ER385 TIG welding rod, a solution for unparalleled corrosion resistance and durability in welding projects. This welding rod is specifically designed for use with high-alloy austenitic stainless steels. It is an ideal solution for challenging environments where standard welding materials would fail. Whether you are working in marine, chemical, or industrial applications, our 385 TIG rod delivers consistent performance and high-quality results.

TAKADA 385 Technical Overview:

• Material Composition: Grade ER385 TIG welding rods derive from alloy 904L, a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in environments with chloride exposure. The alloy’s composition includes 20-23% Chromium, 24-28% Nickel, 4-5% Molybdenum, and small additions of Copper and Nitrogen. Together, the composition provides robust protection against various forms of corrosion, including pitting and crevice corrosion.
• Applications: This welding rod is perfectly suited for welding and overlaying similar high-alloy austenitic stainless steels, particularly in industries where high corrosion resistance is critical. It is commonly used in the fabrication and repair of equipment in the chemical processing industry. As well as marine and pharmaceutical industries, where long-term durability and reliability are essential.
• Mechanical Properties: The ER385 TIG welding rod offers excellent mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of approximately 550 MPa and a yield strength of 240 MPa. It maintains good ductility with an elongation rate of about 35%, ensuring that your welds are not only strong but also flexible and resilient.
• Welding Characteristics: Designed for TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, the ER385 welding rod provides a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter, which is essential for creating clean, high-quality welds. It is compatible with both AC and DC welding processes, offering versatility in various welding conditions.
• Available Sizes: Our ER385 TIG Welding Rods are available in 2.4mm sized diameter. The rods are packaged securely to maintain its quality until you are ready to use it.

Choose the ER385 TIG Welding Rod for superior performance in demanding environments. Ensure your projects withstand the test of time with exceptional corrosion resistance and weld integrity.
