Cast-Iron Stick Electrode 1/8 in
This WESTWARD 41R170 electrode is made for joining cast iron to cast iron using the SMAW process. It suits maintenance shops and fabricators who need a 14 in stick for flat, horizontal, overhead or vertical positions with DCEP current.
Installation and common issues
The 1/8 in diameter fits standard holders and runs on DCEP polarity. Moisture pick-up can cause porosity so store the 1 lb container in a dry area. Incorrect amperage or poor joint cleaning often leads to cracking or lack of fusion in the weld.
Pre-order checks
Verify your power source delivers DCEP output and can handle the 62 ksi tensile requirement. Confirm the base metal is cast iron and the joint design matches the qualified flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical positions. Ensure local regulations allow use of a product carrying Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How can I tell the WESTWARD 41R170 electrode is performing correctly after I start welding?
A smooth, stable weld bead with good fusion on cast iron and consistent deposition indicates the 1/8 in diameter rod is running as intended for flat, horizontal, overhead or vertical positions.
What comes in the package and is anything else required to use these electrodes?
The box contains 1 lb of WESTWARD 41R170 14 in cast iron stick electrodes; you must supply a compatible SMAW power source set to DCEP polarity and appropriate personal protective equipment.
Which version of this electrode should I choose for my cast iron repair job?
Select the AWS ESt classification 1/8 in diameter 14 in length 1 lb pack when you need 62 ksi tensile strength and 50 ksi yield strength for cast iron to cast iron joints in all positions.
