Plastic spool of flux-cored welding wire, 33 lb

Westward

Westward 49EG47 FCAW Welding Wire 0.045 in 33 lb

SKU CH-M9JY-3DM3M

Flux-cored carbon-steel wire on a 33 lb plastic spool, 0.045 in diameter for self-shielded FCAW welding

  • Product typeWelding Supplies
  • Flux-cored wire eliminates external shielding gas
  • 045 in diameter suits medium-thickness carbon steel
  • E71T-11 classification meets AWS structural standards
  • 33 lb plastic spool supports long production runs
  • 70 to 95 ksi tensile strength ensures strong joints

Wire diameter and application

This flux-cored welding wire measures 0.045 in diameter and comes on a 33 lb plastic spool. It is classified to AWS E71T-11 for self-shielded FCAW using DCEN current. The carbon-steel consumable is designed for carbon steel to carbon steel joints.

Who this suits and who it does not

It suits welders who need a portable, gasless process for structural or repair work on mild steel. Buyers who require a shielding-gas supply or who are welding non-ferrous alloys should look at a different wire type.

Tensile strength range

As-welded tensile strength falls between 70 and 95 ksi with a minimum yield of 58 ksi. These figures determine whether the deposit meets the mechanical requirements of your welding procedure.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the 0.045 in flux-cored wire on my MIG gun and what polarity mistake should I avoid?

Feed the 33 lb plastic spool onto the drive rolls, use 0.045 in tips and liners, and select DCEN polarity because the AWS E71T-11 classification requires electrode-negative current for self-shielded operation.

What consumables wear out first when running this E71T-11 wire continuously?

Contact tips and liners sized for 0.045 in diameter wear fastest; the flux core deposits slag that must be chipped between passes, and the 33 lb spool will need replacing once the 33 lb of carbon-steel wire is consumed.

At what tensile-strength range does the as-welded deposit reach its limit under sustained multi-pass loading?

The as-welded tensile strength is rated 70 to 95 ksi with a minimum yield of 58 ksi, so sustained loads approaching the 95 ksi upper bound will be the first mechanical limit reached.
