Filler Wire
Like MIG welding, Tig welding generally requires the use of a filler wire. Unlike Mig welding,
this filler wire is fed into the molten weld puddle by hand. The filler wire must be chosen to
correctly match the material and alloy you will be welding.
The diameter of the filler wire is based on the thickness of the material you will be welding. For
example, if you are welding something which is 1/16" thick, then you would probably want to use
a filler wire which is 1/16" thick. If you are welding something 1/4" thick, then you would want
to use a larger diameter filler wire than you used when welding 1/16" material, say 1/8" to 5/32".
HTP has the following filler wire available in 1 lb tubes which are sealed to prevent oxidation.
