Welders Choice 59801548 Titanium Brazing Alloy Rod

Product Description

The WELDERS CHOICE 59801548 is a commercially pure titanium brazing alloy rod rated to industry specification ERTi-2. At 1/16 inch in diameter and 36 inches in length, this rod is sized for precision brazing work where material compatibility and joint integrity are critical. Titanium base material delivers strong resistance to chemical attack and elevated temperatures, making it a reliable choice for demanding fabrication environments. Each rod weighs approximately 1 pound and is sold as a single unit. Certified welding professionals and pipe fabricators working with titanium assemblies will find this alloy appropriate for aerospace, chemical processing, and high-temperature piping applications.

This brazing alloy rod is suited for joining commercially pure titanium components in both industrial and specialty fabrication settings. Typical applications include heat exchangers, chemical handling equipment, and high-temperature structural assemblies where standard alloys would be degraded by corrosive media or service temperatures. ERTi-2 classification indicates a low-interstitial, commercially pure titanium chemistry that maintains ductility while providing adequate tensile strength for structural joints.

Key Features

• ERTi-2 commercially pure titanium alloy specification
• Chemical-resistant material suitable for corrosive service environments
• High temperature resistance for demanding thermal applications
• Good balance of strength and ductility for structural brazing joints
• 1/16 inch diameter rod sized for controlled filler deposition
• 36 inch length provides sufficient working length per rod

Compatibility

Designed for use with commercially pure titanium base metals meeting ERTi-2 or equivalent CP titanium specifications, typical in industrial fabrication, chemical processing equipment, and high-temperature structural applications.

Installation Notes

Brazing of titanium alloys requires proper shielding gas coverage to prevent oxidation of the base metal and filler during the heating process. This work is performed by qualified welding professionals following applicable AWS and industry standards for titanium brazing procedures. Ensure all base metal surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased before beginning the braze joint. Appropriate personal protective equipment and ventilation must be used when working with titanium at elevated temperatures.
