Spool of .045 inch flux-cored welding wire on plastic spool

Value Brand

Value Brand 41R331 MIG Welding Wire .045 1 lb

SKU CH-VEAH-F7PQA

Self-shielded flux-cored welding wire, .045 in diameter on a 1 lb plastic spool for carbon and low-alloy steel

  • Product typeWelding Supplies
  • Flux-cored wire enables self-shielded welding without external gas
  • Suitable for flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions
  • Hardness reaches 47 HRC after one layer and 53 HRC after three
  • Designed for carbon and low-alloy steel applications
  • Supplied on a one-pound plastic spool for easy handling

WESTWARD 55FC-O Flux-Cored Wire

This flux-cored welding wire carries the WESTWARD 55FC-O series designation and is built for hardfacing on carbon and low-alloy steels. It operates with a self-shielded process, so no external gas supply is required on the job site. The spool weighs one pound and uses a plastic spool for easy handling.

Suited for flat, horizontal.

Welders who need a self-shielded flux-cored wire for hardfacing in flat, horizontal, overhead, vertical-down or vertical-up positions will find this wire matches the specified welding current designations. Buyers who require a gas-shielded process or a different alloy type for corrosion resistance should look at something else.

0.045 inch diameter sets the wire feed and amp range

The wire diameter of 0.045 in determines the feed speed and current window for the flux-cored process. Rockwell hardness reaches 47 HRC after one layer, 49 HRC after two layers and 53 HRC after three layers on carbon and low-alloy steel.

Questions about this item

What wire diameter does the 41R331 spool use for the MIG gun liner and contact tip?

The spool contains 0.045 in flux-cored wire, so the gun liner and contact tip must be sized for that diameter.

Which polarity settings on the welder are correct for this self-shielded flux-cored wire?

The wire is designated for both DCEN and DCEP; set the machine to either polarity before welding.

How does the deposit hardness change if I build up multiple passes with this wire?

Rockwell hardness measures 47 HRC after one layer, 49 HRC after two layers, and 53 HRC after three layers.
