IMS 210

Unitor IMS-210 is a copper coated TIG welding rod for welding of unalloyed and low alloyed creep-resistant Momolybdenium (up to 0.5%) steel and fine grained steel suitable for working temperatures from –45°C up to 550°C. It is also recommended for welding of high tensile steel. In general, TIG welding of steel is suitable for thin sheets and pipes of small diameters where the wall thickness of pipes does not exceed 6 mm. IMS-210 can also be used to advantage when making root runs on large thicknesses where the subsequent filler and capping runs are done by arc welding with coated electrodes. Thoroughly clean the welding area before commencing welding. Gas welding rods for mild steel welding (including MS-200) have a low silicium content.TIG welding rods on the other hand, have a high silicium content to keep the molten pool fluid. A TIG welding rod used for Gas welding will become too fluid and give a porous weld

It is therefore important not to use gas welding rods for TIG and vice versa.
