For TIG welding (the process this rod is built for), the rod is fed by hand into the arc — no flux, no shielding gas from the rod itself, with shielding handled by the TIG torch. Bossweld R60 is a copper-coated mild steel filler rod classified to AWS A5.2 R60 — the carbon steel rod specification for oxyfuel gas welding, also widely used as a TIG filler for mild and low-alloy steels. It is alloyed with silicon and manganese for weld strength and toughness, supplied as a 1 kg handy pack. For dedicated TIG (GTAW) work where porosity matters, an AWS A5.18 ER70S-2 or ER70S-6 rod is the GTAW-specific alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:680px;width:100%;padding:12px 0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr 1fr;gap:0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 12px;border-right:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;align-items:flex-start;gap:8px;padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;color:#222;flex-shrink:0;\"\u003e◆\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.5\"\u003eClassification: AWS A5.2 R60\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 12px;border-right:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;align-items:flex-start;gap:8px;padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;color:#222;flex-shrink:0;\"\u003e●\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.5\"\u003eCopper coated: filler rods providing reduced oxidation\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 12px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;align-items:flex-start;gap:8px;padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:bold;color:#222;flex-shrink:0;\"\u003e▲\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.5\"\u003eSilicon and manganese: alloy delivering increased weld strength and toughness\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:16px;padding-top:12px;border-top:1px solid #f0f0f0\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#333;margin:0\"\u003eR60 Mild Steel TIG Welding Rod is a copper-coated, low-alloy filler rod formulated for strong, high-strength welds on mild and low-alloy steels without the need for flux.
