The Weld Star CCMS (R45) is a high quality, copper coated mild steel rod specifically designed for oxy acetylene gas welding. Known for its versatility and ease of use, the R45 rod is the go to choice for welding unalloyed and low carbon steels.
The thin copper coating serves a dual purpose: it protects the rods from atmospheric rust during storage and ensures excellent electrical conductivity if used in specific TIG applications (though primarily designed for gas). These rods produce a fluid weld pool that is easy to control, resulting in a smooth, ductile weld bead with a typical tensile strength of 350 MPa. Whether you are working on thin walled tubing, automotive panels, or general farm repairs, the Weld Star CCMS provides a reliable, low cost solution for everyday mild steel fabrication.
