WESTWARD ER312 TIG Rod 1/16" 36
This WESTWARD 41R347 TIG welding rod is classified AWS ER312 and made from stainless steel. Each rod measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 36 inches long, supplied in a 1 lb package. It is designed for TIG welding (GTAW) using DCEN current and delivers a tensile strength of 109 ksi with a minimum yield strength of 78 ksi.
Suited for dissimilar stainless
The rod targets welders joining stainless steel grades such as 312, 329, 416, 416PlusX, 416Se, 420F to each other or to carbon steel. It is not intended for MIG or stick welding processes, nor for base metals outside the listed stainless grades. Buyers needing a different AWS classification, diameter, or wire feed process should look elsewhere.
AWS ER312 classification governs dissimilar-metal
The ER312 designation confirms the rod’s chemistry and mechanical properties for joining the specified stainless grades to carbon steel. This single specification determines whether the consumable matches the joint design and base-material combination required by the welding procedure.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the weld deposit meets the 109 ksi tensile strength after welding with these rods?
Perform a tensile test on a sample weld using the DCEN current setting; the as-welded deposit should reach 109 ksi tensile strength and 78 ksi yield strength per the AWS ER312 classification.
What comes in the 1 lb package and do I need a separate shielding gas?
The package contains 1 lb of 36 in stainless steel TIG rods at 0.0625 in diameter; you must supply argon shielding gas and a compatible TIG torch separately.
Which base metal grades does the ER312 classification cover for dissimilar joints?
The rods are rated for joining stainless grades 312, 329, 416, 416PlusX, 416Se, 420F to each other or to carbon steel using DCEN polarity.
