Value Brand 41R343 36in Welding Rod .045in ER308L 10lb
AWS ER308L stainless TIG rods, .045 in diameter, 36 in length, 10 lb pack for 304/308/321/347 grades
- TypeWelding Supplies
- AWS ER308L classification matches 304, 304L, 308L stainless grades
- 045 in diameter suits precise TIG welding on thin sheet
- 36 in rod length reduces changeover frequency during long runs
- 88 ksi tensile strength delivers strong, crack-resistant welds
- 10 lb pack provides ample filler for production or repair work
Application & Fit
WESTWARD 41R343 TIG welding rod is manufactured for joining stainless steel grades 304, 304L, 304LN, 308, 308L, 321 and 347 using the GTAW process with DCEN polarity. The ER308L classification confirms low carbon content to reduce carbide precipitation in the heat-affected zone.
Who Should Choose This
Fabricators working on food-grade, pharmaceutical or architectural stainless assemblies will match the 88 ksi tensile and 59 ksi yield strengths required by many codes. Shops needing filler for dissimilar stainless grades, higher deposition rates or flux-cored wire should evaluate other product lines.
Deciding Specification
The 0.045 in diameter by 36 in length in a 10 lb package determines whether the rod feeds through your torch setup and supplies enough material for the planned joint volume.

Questions about this item
At what tensile strength does the ER308L rod reach its limit under sustained load?
The as-welded tensile strength is 88 ksi, which defines the maximum sustained stress the joint can carry.
How much heat does the 0.045in diameter generate during all-day TIG welding?
DCEN current designation concentrates heat on the workpiece, reducing electrode heating during continuous runs.
Which TIG welder settings must I already have to run this 36in stainless rod?
A DCEN-capable TIG power source with appropriate amperage range for 0.045in ER308L on 304, 304L, 308, 308L, 321, 347 grades.
