CLRG45093-1DP XTRweld RG45 Filler Metal, 3/32, Mild & Low Alloy Steel, 1 lb

R45 is a general purpose, copper coated, oxyfuel gas welding rod used for welding most low carbon steels. It is a great selection when ductility and machinability are most important. You do not need a flux when brazing with this product, but "puddling" of the molten metal will bring any scale or impurities to the surface. While R45 & R60 seem like similar alloys, they were originally developed for oxyfuel welding, however they can be used for TIG welding in some applications. These alloys do not carry enough de-oxidizers typically needed with the GTAW process; therefore, it is not recommended.

APPLICATIONS

XTR RG45 is typically used on steel plate not exceeding 0.25” in thickness, sheet and pipe where high strength is not required, this product can also be used for some smaller wrought iron applications. RG45 deposits a ductile and easily machinable lower strength weld.
