Lincoln Electric ED034338 Tig Welding Rod Steel Alloy

Product Description

The LINCOLN ELECTRIC ED034338 is a steel alloy TIG welding rod designed for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) applications on steel base metals. Each rod measures 36 inches in length with a 3/32 inch diameter, making it a standard size suited for a wide range of joint configurations and material thicknesses. At 10 pounds per package, this rod is a practical stock item for welding shops, fabrication facilities, and field service operations. Licensed welders and professional fabricators use this filler metal when precision, clean welds, and low spatter are priorities on structural or general-purpose steel work.

This TIG welding rod is intended for use with steel base materials in both shop and field welding environments. The 3/32 inch diameter suits moderate amperage ranges common in structural fabrication, pipe work, and general steel repair. It is appropriate for flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions depending on the welder technique and joint preparation. The 36 inch rod length is the industry-standard cut length for TIG filler wire, compatible with standard rod ovens and storage racks used in professional welding operations.

Key Features

• Steel alloy filler metal formulated for GTAW (TIG) welding on steel base materials
• Standard 36 inch cut length fits conventional rod ovens and storage systems
• 3/32 inch diameter supports a broad range of amperage settings for varying material thicknesses
• Consistent diameter tolerances support stable arc characteristics and uniform weld bead profile
• Packaged at 10 pounds per unit for efficient shop inventory management

Compatibility

Designed for use with steel base metals in TIG welding applications. Consult the applicable AWS filler metal classification and your welding procedure specification (WPS) to confirm suitability for the specific base metal grade and joint requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified welder following applicable AWS, ASME, or employer welding procedure specifications. Ensure the TIG torch, shielding gas supply, and base metal are properly prepared and clean before striking an arc. Store filler rods in a dry environment or a rod oven to prevent moisture pickup, which can affect weld quality on steel. Do not use rods that show signs of rust, contamination, or physical damage.
