Westward 41R317 MIG weld wire

Westward 41R317 is an 11 lb spool of copper MIG welding wire classified as ERCuSi-A. The .023 in diameter suits wire-feed welders running AC or DCEP current on a plastic spool.

Suits brazing and dissimilar-metal joints

This wire joins brass to cast iron, brass to steel, bronze to cast iron, bronze to steel, cast iron to copper and copper to steel. It is not for aluminium, stainless steel or general mild-steel fabrication where a different filler classification is required.

.023 in ERCuSi-A copper wire on 11 lb spool

The .023 in ERCuSi-A copper wire on an 11 lb plastic spool is the specification that decides fit. It delivers 50 ksi tensile strength as welded and runs on AC or DCEP polarity for the dissimilar-metal combinations listed above.

Questions about this item

How do I install the .023 ERCuSi-A wire on my MIG welder and what step causes feeding problems?

Mount the 11 lb plastic spool, set the drive rolls for .023 diameter copper-silicon wire, and use a Teflon liner; the step most people miss is matching the contact tip to .023 so the soft wire does not jam.

What maintenance or replacement will this 11 lb spool of ERCuSi-A wire need later?

Replace the spool when the 11 lb of .023 wire is consumed; periodically change the contact tip and liner because copper-silicon deposits wear them faster than steel wire.

What limit appears first when running this ERCuSi-A wire continuously at high amperage?

The 50 ksi tensile strength of the as-welded deposit governs the maximum sustained load the joint can carry before the copper-silicon bead yields.
