Titanium TIG Welding Wire for Manual and Precision Welding

Beiyu supplies titanium TIG welding wire and straight filler rods for welding titanium and titanium alloy components. TIG filler wire is commonly used for sheet, plate, tube, pipe fittings, flanges, pressure equipment parts and custom fabricated titanium assemblies.

The filler metal grade should be selected according to the base metal, welding procedure and project specification. Buyers should identify the required ERTi grade rather than ordering generic titanium wire.

Grades and Standards

Common filler grades	ERTi-1, ERTi-2, ERTi-5, ERTi-7, ERTi-12 or project-specified ERTi grade.
Common standard	AWS A5.16 / ASME SFA-5.16 for titanium and titanium alloy welding electrodes and rods.
Supply form	Straight TIG rods, cut lengths or packed bundles according to order requirement.
Key requirements	Diameter, rod length, straightness, surface cleanliness, grade and heat traceability.

Diameter, Length and Surface Cleanliness

RFQs should specify wire diameter, rod length, grade, quantity, surface condition and packing requirement. Titanium TIG rods must be kept clean and protected from oil, dust, moisture and mixed-metal contamination before welding.

If the rods are used for pressure equipment, chemical service or aerospace-related parts, the buyer should state certificate, traceability and inspection requirements before order confirmation.

Straight-Rod Envelope and TIG Order Check

Beiyu's June 2026 product brochure lists straight titanium wire at 0.8 to 6.0 mm diameter in lengths to 6000 mm and captions the pictured form as an ERTi-grade TIG filler rod cut to length.

Supply form	General program limit	TIG RFQ check
Straight TIG rod	0.8 to 6.0 mm diameter, length to 6000 mm	Required rod diameter, cut length, straightness, bundle and packing tube

The limits are a straight-wire capability envelope, not stock or proof that every ERTi grade, diameter, length and surface combination is available. State the filler grade, base metal and welding procedure with the rod diameter, cut length and packing scope so the RFQ can be reviewed as one order line.

Common Applications

TIG welding of titanium sheet, plate, tube and pipe
Repair and fabrication of corrosion-resistant titanium equipment
Welding titanium pipe fittings, flanges and tube assemblies
Marine, chemical, heat exchanger and industrial equipment projects
Drawing-based welded components requiring ERTi filler metal

Inspection and Documentation

Buyers can request mill test certificate, EN10204 3.1 documentation, heat number traceability, chemical composition and dimensional inspection. PMI testing, surface inspection or third-party inspection can be added when required by the purchase order.

Packaging and Export Information

TIG rods are typically bundled or packed in tubes or boxes by grade, diameter and length. Packaging should protect straightness and surface cleanliness during shipment. Labels should identify grade, standard, diameter, length, heat number and quantity when traceability is required.

FAQ

Which ERTi grade should be used for TIG welding?

The ERTi grade should match the base metal and welding procedure. Common options include ERTi-2 for Grade 2 titanium, ERTi-5 for Grade 5 titanium and ERTi-7 for Grade 7 titanium.

Can TIG wire be supplied as straight rods?

Yes. TIG filler metal is commonly supplied as straight rods with diameter, length and packing defined in the RFQ.

What documents can be requested?

Common documents include mill test certificate, EN10204 3.1, heat number traceability, chemical composition and dimensional inspection.

Procurement Notes for Titanium TIG Wire

Titanium TIG wire can refer to several ERTi filler grades, so RFQs should specify ERTi-2, ERTi-5, ERTi-7, ERTi-12 or another required grade rather than only saying titanium TIG wire. Buyers should also define diameter, straight length, packing quantity, surface condition and the base metal grade to be welded.

For chemical equipment, pipe, vessel or heat-exchanger fabrication, include AWS A5.16 requirement, WPS reference if available, heat traceability, certificate requirement and packaging method. Clean surface handling matters for titanium welding, so RFQs should mention whether sealed bags, tube packaging or special labeling are required.

Specification detail with sources

Cut rod is the one filler form where identification is a delivery requirement rather than a paperwork one. Rods leave the tube and are handled loose at the bench, so unless each rod or each bundle carries its own marking, the grade becomes a matter of memory. The order settles this by stating the cut length, the straightness expected of a loose rod, the bundle or tube packing and how the marking is applied.

The composition figures have a named basis. In the bar and billet specification ASTM B348 the methods are named in the document itself, ASTM E1409 for oxygen and nitrogen, ASTM E1447 for hydrogen and ASTM E1941 for carbon, with rounding to ASTM E29 applied before a result is compared to a limit (ASTM B348, referenced documents and test methods). Filler metal is certified under its own specification, and the reason to ask which method produced a figure is the same on either document: a value without a method behind it cannot be compared with a value from another laboratory. Marking and packing are both items an order is expected to carry in ASTM B348 as well (ASTM B348, ordering information), and on loose cut rod they stop being administrative. Beiyu Titanium supplies TIG rod with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate carrying heat number traceability, with the reporting scope set by the order.
