AWS R45 Gas Welding Rod

This carbon-steel gas welding rod carries AWS R45 classification to AWS A 5.2 and is supplied in 36 inch lengths at 3/32 inch diameter. The tube contains 1 lb of rods rated for 45 ksi tensile strength as welded.

Flat and Horizontal Carbon-Steel Joints

The rod is specified for flat and horizontal positions when joining carbon steel to carbon steel. It is not intended for vertical or overhead positions, nor for welding alloy steels, stainless steel or non-ferrous metals.

AWS R45 Classification and 45 ksi Tensile

The AWS R45 designation under AWS A 5.2 confirms the 45 ksi minimum tensile requirement for the deposited weld metal. Matching this classification to the joint design and base metal is the deciding factor for selection.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 3/32 in rod generate during a full day of gas welding?

The rod produces heat only while the torch flame melts it; the 45 ksi tensile strength shows the weld joint strength, not the rod temperature.

What gas-welding equipment must I already have to use this R45 carbon-steel rod?

You need an oxy-fuel torch setup, regulators, hoses and the correct tip size for 3/32 in filler rod.

Will this R45 rod work on older carbon-steel projects I already own?

Yes, it is classified AWS R45 for flat and horizontal welding of carbon steel to carbon steel.
