WESTWARD 30XP80 Silicon Bronze MIG Wire
This welding wire uses a copper-based silicon bronze alloy for MIG welding processes. It comes on an 11 lb plastic spool with a 0.045 in wire diameter. The AWS ERCuSi-A classification confirms its composition for joining dissimilar metals.
Suitable for joining brass, bronze.
Buyers who need a filler metal for aluminium or stainless steel should select a different wire composition. Shops without a MIG welding setup cannot use this product. The spool weight requires equipment rated for 11 lb capacity.
0.045 in diameter determines machine compatibility
The wire diameter must match the contact tip and drive rolls fitted to the welding machine. Using an incorrect size causes feeding problems and poor weld quality. Check the equipment manual before ordering this spool.

Questions about this item
What MIG gun consumables match the 0.045 in diameter of this ERCuSi-A silicon bronze wire?
Use a 0.045 in contact tip and matching drive rolls in your MIG gun; the wire is spooled on an 11 lb plastic spool for direct mounting on standard feeders.
Will this AC/DCEP silicon bronze wire work with the steel or stainless spool gun I already use for other wires?
Yes, it runs on the same MIG (GMAW) equipment; simply swap the spool, change to 0.045 in tip and rolls, and set polarity to AC or DCEP as the wire requires.
How do I verify the joint meets the 50 ksi tensile strength stated for this alloy?
Make a test weld on the same base metals — brass, bronze, copper, cast iron or steel — then have the coupon tensile-tested; a result at or above 50 ksi confirms the wire is performing to spec.
