Harris® TIG (GTAW) ERCu 1/8" Dia X 36" Deoxidized Copper Welding Rod comes in a 10 lb box. This rod is used for joining deoxidized copper base metals to copper or galvanized steel, if high strength joints are not required. Overlays on steel surfaces aids in corrosion resistance. It is electrically conductive and porosity free. Features a tensile strength of 29,000 psi and yield strength of 8,000 psi. Deposit color is a good match to copper. Conforms to ANSI/AWS A 5.7 and ASME SFA-5.7 ERCu standards.
