WESTWARD 41R329 flux-cored welding wire
This WESTWARD 41R329 wire is a self-shielded flux-cored product designed for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical welding positions. It suits maintenance and fabrication tasks on carbon steel and low-alloy steel where external shielding gas is not available. The plastic spool holds one pound of .035 inch diameter wire for portable use.
Check wire diameter and polarity before ordering
Verify that your wire feeder accepts .035 inch flux-cored wire and that your power source can deliver DCEN or DCEP current as specified. Confirm the spool dimensions fit your machine's spool holder and that you are welding compatible base materials such as carbon steel or low-alloy steel.
For self-shielded hardfacing on carbon steel
This wire suits welders needing abrasion and impact resistant deposits without gas cylinders. It is not for buyers who require gas-shielded wire, stainless steel alloys, or aluminium welding. Users needing higher deposition rates or different hardness profiles should consider other wire types.

Questions about this item
Does the 1 lb plastic spool of .035 in 55FC-O X flux-cored wire include any shielding gas or separate flux?
The wire is self-shielded flux-cored, so no external shielding gas or separate flux is required — only the spool itself is in the box.
How do I choose between the available wire diameters or alloy series for this hardfacing job?
This listing is the 55FC-O series in .035 in diameter; other diameters or series are separate items not covered here.
What does the 47 HRC single-layer hardness mean when the wire is run on carbon steel in a real weld?
A single pass deposits metal at 47 HRC, two layers reach 49 HRC and three layers reach 53 HRC, giving progressive abrasion and impact resistance on carbon or low-alloy steel.
