What is the MK Products Tungsten Holder 60/90 Degree - 002-0771 used for?

TIG (GTAW) filler rods are used in the gas tungsten arc welding process, where the welder manually feeds the rod into the weld pool while maintaining the arc with the torch. TIG welding produces the highest quality, lowest spatter welds and is the process of choice for precision work on stainless, aluminum, titanium, and exotic alloys.

What diameter is the MK Products Tungsten Holder 60/90 Degree - 002-0771 available in, and how do I choose the right size?

TIG filler rod diameter selection: match the rod diameter approximately to the base metal thickness. 1/16 in (1.6 mm) for thin sheet, 3/32 in (2.4 mm) for medium gauge, 1/8 in (3.2 mm) for heavy plate. Using a rod that is too large requires excessive heat to melt the rod and can cause overheating of thin base metal.

What shielding gas should I use with the MK Products Tungsten Holder 60/90 Degree - 002-0771?

TIG welding shielding gas selection: use pure argon (99.995% purity) for most TIG applications including steel, stainless, aluminum, and titanium. Helium additions (25–75% He/Ar mix) increase heat input and travel speed for heavy section work and aluminum welding where higher deposition is needed. Never use CO2 or mixed gases designed for MIG welding in TIG torches.

What is the AWS classification of the MK Products Tungsten Holder 60/90 Degree - 002-0771?

TIG filler rods carry an AWS classification (e.g., ER70S-2 for mild steel, ER308L for 304 stainless, ER4043 for aluminum) that specifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the deposited weld metal. Always verify the AWS class when writing or qualifying a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) for code work.

How should I store the MK Products Tungsten Holder 60/90 Degree - 002-0771 to maintain weld quality?

TIG filler rods are typically sold in 36 in lengths in 1 lb, 5 lb, 10 lb, and 25 lb tubes. Store rods in their original sealed tubes in a dry location. Stainless and nickel alloy rods are particularly moisture-sensitive — exposure to humidity can introduce hydrogen and cause porosity or cracking. Never leave opened rod tubes exposed to damp air.
