WESTWARD 30XN97 TIG Rod for Carbon Steel
The WESTWARD 30XN97 is a carbon steel TIG welding rod classified AWS ER70S-6. It comes in a one pound package containing thirty-six inch rods with a 0.045 inch diameter. This filler metal is made for joining carbon steel to carbon steel using the GTAW process with DCEN current. It suits welders who need a general purpose rod for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical positions.
Replaces worn or mismatched filler for ER70S-6 jobs
Use this rod when your current supply runs out or when the wire on hand does not carry the AWS ER70S-6 classification required by the procedure. The jump is worth it if the specification calls for a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi and a minimum yield strength of 58 ksi on carbon steel base metal. It also fits procedures that allow welding in vertical-down and vertical-up positions with a single filler type.
Check your process, base metal
Verify that your TIG setup runs DCEN current and that the joint design accepts a 0.045 inch rod. Confirm the base material is carbon steel to carbon steel, because this classification is not intended for stainless steel, aluminium or dissimilar metals. Ensure your procedure allows the stated tensile and yield values and that you can store the one pound tube in a dry environment.

Questions about this item
What diameter rod fits a standard TIG torch for the 0.045" WESTWARD ER70S-6?
The rod is 0.045 inches in diameter, matching the ER70S-6 specification for carbon-steel TIG welding.
How do you install the 36-inch rods, and what step is often missed?
Insert the 36-inch rod into the torch collet body sized for 0.045" and tighten the back cap; people often forget to match the collet size to the rod diameter.
When should the 1 lb pack of ER70S-6 rods be replaced?
Replace the rods if the copper coating shows white oxidation, the rods feel damp, or welds on carbon steel become porous.
