View DetailsTitanium Tig Filler Rod
Solid titanium rods used as filler metal in TIG welding to create robust, corrosion-resistant joints in titanium components.
Product Overview
Bokang's Titanium Tig Filler Rod is manufactured using advanced vacuum arc remelting technology, ensuring exceptional purity and consistent mechanical properties.
Titanium TIG filler rods are essentially the same product as Titanium TIG wire; the terms "wire" and "rod" are often used interchangeably in the context of TIG welding filler metal. Typically, "rod" may imply a larger diameter or a focus on manual feeding in straight lengths. These rods are consumable additions to the weld pool, melted by the arc generated from a non-consumable tungsten electrode.
Their core function is to add material to the joint, ensuring proper fill and reinforcement while matching the base metal's metallurgical properties. The production and handling requirements are exceptionally stringent. Even slight surface contamination from oils, moisture, or oxides can lead to weld defects such as porosity or embrittlement. Therefore, these rods undergo extensive cleaning and are packaged to maintain a pristine condition until the moment of use.

Key Advantages of Bokang Titanium Tig Filler Rod
Discover why our titanium wire stands out in the industry
Metallurgical Consistency
Provides uniform melting and solidification behavior, leading to predictable weld bead geometry and reduced risk of hot cracking.
Ease of Handling
Straight lengths with smooth surfaces allow welders to maintain a consistent arc length and feed angle, which is crucial for manual TIG welding quality.
Low Contamination Risk
Manufactured and packaged with processes designed to eliminate hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon-based contaminants that cause porosity and brittleness.

Material Selection Guide
How to choose the right titanium wire for your application
1
Confirm Base-Filler Compatibility
Ensure the filler rod grade is approved for use with the specific titanium base alloy. Cross-reference with welding procedure specifications (WPS) or material data sheets.
2
Select Diameter for Deposition Rate
Larger diameter rods (e.g., 2.4mm, 3.2mm) allow for higher deposition rates on thicker materials but require higher amperage and greater welder skill for control.
3
Evaluate Post-Weld Requirements
If the weld will undergo post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) or stringent NDT (like radiography), select a rod known for consistent performance under these conditions to avoid rework.
Production Process & Quality Control
Our rigorous manufacturing process ensures consistent quality
Alloy Melting & Ingot Casting
Titanium and alloying elements are combined and melted under vacuum or inert gas to form a homogeneous ingot with precise chemistry.
Primary Hot Working
The ingot is heated and extruded or forged into a bar form (billet), breaking down the cast structure and improving mechanical properties.
Rod Drawing
The billet is drawn through a series of progressively smaller dies at room temperature to achieve the final rod diameter with tight tolerances.
Heat Treatment & Straightening
The rod may undergo annealing to relieve stresses from drawing, followed by precision straightening to ensure it is perfectly straight.
Final Cleaning & Sealing
Acid pickling or electrochemical cleaning removes any surface oxides. Rods are then dried and immediately sealed in moisture-proof packaging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pure titanium wire
In practical terms for titanium, they refer to the same product: solid filler metal used in TIG welding. Industry usage can vary, but "rod" often denotes straight lengths, particularly in larger diameters for manual feeding. "Wire" is a more general term that can also apply to spooled product for automated feeding.
After opening, unused rods should be stored in a dedicated, low-humidity cabinet or container. It is recommended to wipe the rod with a lint-free cloth and a solvent like acetone or ethanol approved for titanium immediately before use to remove any incidental contamination. Do not leave rods exposed to the workshop atmosphere for extended periods.
