Description
Overview:
Gas Welding Rods 1.6mm Copper Coated Mild Steel - 2kg Pack are solid filler rods for gas (oxy-acetylene) welding of mild steel and wrought iron. Each rod has a mild steel core with a copper-coated finish to resist rusting and promote smooth, controlled wetting into the weld pool. The 1.6mm diameter suits thin to medium-gauge work where bead control and lower heat input are important. Supplied as a 2kg pack, they are a practical choice for workshop and site use across fabrication, repair, and maintenance tasks. Ideal for tradespeople and DIY users, these rods help produce strong, ductile joints on common steels used in gates, railings, frames, brackets, and general steelwork. Manufacturer Part Number: 845 123.
Key Features:
- 1.6mm diameter for precise puddle control on thin to medium sections
- Copper-coated mild steel for reliable wetting and resistance to surface rust
- Consistent performance for clean, sound joints on mild steel and wrought iron
- Works with oxy-acetylene gas welding setups found in workshops and on site
- Smooth feed characteristics support steady progress and tidy bead appearance
- Versatile choice for fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks
- 2kg pack provides a practical quantity for both intermittent and frequent use
- Suitable for hand-held torch techniques on sheet, tube, and general steel fabrications
- Copper-coated finish helps reduce oxidation during handling and storage
- Plain, straight rods for easy handling, cutting, and organisation
Typical Applications:
General fabrication and repair of mild steel and wrought iron, including gates and railings, machinery guards, brackets, frames, furniture, sheet metal patches, and workshop fixtures. Useful in construction, agricultural maintenance, vehicle and trailer repairs, and metalwork projects where controlled, ductile gas-welded joints are required.
