Nickel Alloy TIG Rods And Wire

Nickel alloy TIG rods are a type of filler metal used in gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) to weld nickel-based alloys. They are typically made of a nickel-chromium-iron alloy with additions of other elements, such as molybdenum, copper, and titanium.

Nickel alloy TIG rods are available in a variety of diameters and lengths to suit different applications. They are typically supplied in boxes of 10 or 20 rods.
