Carbon-steel gas welding rod for flat

This 36-inch rod is made from carbon steel and carries an AWS R45 classification for gas welding carbon steel to carbon steel. It is supplied in a 10 lb box and intended for welders who need a basic filler metal for flat or horizontal positions.

Simple to start with standard gas-welding equipment

The rod feeds into a conventional oxy-fuel torch without special preparation, but moisture on the surface can cause porosity so store the box in a dry place. Overheating the tip or moving too quickly are the most common causes of weak beads.

Check your base metal

The AWS A 5.2 R45 rating applies only to carbon-steel workpieces in flat or horizontal positions, so vertical or overhead joints are not covered. Verify that your torch setup can deliver the heat needed for 1/16-inch diameter rod and that the material you are joining matches the carbon-steel specification.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the weld deposit meets the 45 ksi tensile strength after using these rods?

Perform a tensile test on a sample weld made with the 1/16 inch diameter rod on carbon steel in flat or horizontal position; the as-welded strength should reach 45 ksi per AWS A5.2 R45 classification.

What comes in the 10 lb box and what extra items are needed to start welding?

The box contains ten pounds of 36 inch long 1/16 inch carbon steel gas welding rods classified AWS R45; you must supply a compatible gas welding torch, fuel gas, oxygen and personal protective equipment.

When should I choose the R45 1/16 inch 10 lb box over another diameter or weight?

Select this 1/16 inch diameter when joint fit-up and heat input call for a smaller rod, and the 10 lb box when the project volume matches that quantity; the R45 grade suits carbon-steel-to-carbon-steel joints in flat or horizontal positions.
