TIG Welding

Short Answer

The two most common magnesium TIG rods are ERAZ61A and ERAZ92A.

Details

Both rods are designed for welding magnesium, but they offer different performance levels depending on the application.

  • ERAZ61A: General-purpose magnesium rod for standard applications
  • ERAZ92A: Higher-performance rod designed for cast magnesium and critical parts

A simple way to think about it:

  • ERAZ61A is like regular fuel — works well for most jobs
  • ERAZ92A is like premium fuel — better performance for demanding applications

ERAZ92A is commonly used on cast magnesium engine cases and high-performance components where weld quality and strength are more critical.

Shop Tip

If you’re working on cast magnesium or high-value parts, use ERAZ92A. It gives you better results where it matters most.

Bottom Line

ERAZ61A works for general use, while ERAZ92A is the better choice for cast magnesium and critical applications.
