ESAB OK Tigrod S2 (SPL) ER70S-2 TIG Welding Rod 2.5mm – Non-Alloyed

ESAB OK Tigrod S2 ER70S-2 TIG Welding Rod

The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 is a non-alloyed TIG filler rod classified as ER70S-2, designed for professional TIG/GTAW welding applications. The 2.5mm diameter makes it suitable for welding applications where a larger filler rod is required for appropriate material thickness and joint configuration.

Designed for welding mild and carbon steels, the rod is suitable for fabrication, maintenance, pipe welding, engineering and general industrial applications.

ER70S-2 TIG Filler Rod

The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 is classified as ER70S-2 under AWS specifications. This classification identifies it as a solid, non-alloyed carbon-steel TIG filler material intended for compatible welding applications.

The filler rod is designed to provide consistent filler-metal addition during TIG welding, helping welders produce controlled and clean weld joints when appropriate welding parameters and shielding gas are used.

2.5mm TIG Welding Rod

This product is the 2.5mm diameter version of ESAB OK Tigrod S2. The 2.5mm size is useful for applications requiring greater filler-metal deposition than smaller TIG rods.

The correct rod diameter should always be selected according to the base-metal thickness, joint design, welding current and qualified welding procedure.

Non-Alloyed TIG Rod

The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 is a non-alloyed TIG filler rod intended primarily for compatible mild and carbon-steel welding applications.

Its composition and filler-metal characteristics make it suitable for general fabrication and engineering work where an ER70S-2 filler material is specified.

TIG / GTAW Welding

OK Tigrod S2 is designed specifically for TIG welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode together with an external filler rod when filler metal is required.

The separate filler-rod format gives the welder control over the amount and location of filler material added to the joint. This makes the product suitable for applications requiring controlled weld deposition and a clean welding process.

Professional Welding Applications

The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 can be used in a variety of professional welding environments, including:

• Mild steel fabrication
• Carbon steel welding
• Pipe welding
• General engineering
• Industrial maintenance
• Workshop fabrication
• Machinery repair
• Structural fabrication
• General TIG welding

The specific suitability of the filler rod should always be confirmed against the base material and applicable welding procedure.

Clean and Controlled Weld Deposition

TIG welding is commonly selected when weld appearance, control and precision are important. The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 provides a separate solid filler rod that can be fed manually into the weld pool.

When used with the correct tungsten electrode, shielding gas, current and welding technique, the filler rod can help produce consistent weld deposits.

Suitable for Professional Fabrication

The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 is suitable for professional welders, fabrication workshops, maintenance teams and industrial users who require a dependable TIG filler rod for compatible carbon-steel applications.

The 2.5mm diameter is particularly useful where the welding procedure calls for a larger filler size to achieve the required weld deposition.

Why Choose ESAB OK Tigrod S2?

The ESAB OK Tigrod S2 is a practical choice when an ER70S-2 non-alloyed TIG filler rod is specified for mild or carbon-steel welding. Its 2.5mm diameter provides a useful filler size for applications requiring controlled but substantial filler-metal addition.

As with any welding consumable, the correct filler material should be selected according to the base-metal grade, joint design, welding procedure and required mechanical properties.

For professional users purchasing welding consumables, selecting the correct ESAB filler-metal classification helps ensure compatibility with the welding procedure and application requirements.

Welding Safety

Always follow the applicable welding procedure and ESAB product recommendations. Use appropriate welding PPE, including a suitable welding helmet, gloves, protective clothing and safety footwear. Ensure adequate ventilation and use the recommended shielding gas and welding parameters for the application.

The product should not be described as suitable for a particular base material or critical application unless that compatibility is confirmed by the applicable welding procedure.
