Value Brand WESTWARD 41R355 36 in 0.045 in ER316L 1 lb
TIG welding rod in ER316L stainless steel, 36 in length and 0.045 in diameter, for joining 316-series grades
- TypeWelding Supplies
- TIG-ready ER316L rod for stainless-to-stainless joints
- 045 in diameter feeds smoothly in GTAW torches
- 36 in straight length reduces change-overs on long runs
- 86 ksi tensile strength delivers reliable weld integrity
- 58 ksi minimum yield meets AWS ER316L specification
Purpose and User
This welding rod is designed for TIG welding stainless steel components. It suits fabricators and maintenance technicians who need to join grades such as 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444. The ER316L classification confirms suitability for corrosion-resistant applications. Buyers who need filler metal for other alloys or welding processes should look elsewhere.
Thermal and Electrical Behaviour
The rod operates on DCEN polarity with a 0.045 in diameter. As-welded tensile strength reaches 86 ksi while yield strength meets 58 ksi. These figures reflect the mechanical performance of the deposited weld metal under standard conditions. No additional thermal or acoustic data is provided by the manufacturer.
Build Integration
Each rod measures 36 in long and the package weighs 1 lb. The material is stainless steel designated for stainless-to-stainless joints. No shielding gas, power source or accessory details are included in the specification. Users must select compatible TIG equipment and consumables separately.

Questions about this item
How do I install the WESTWARD 41R355 0.045 in ER316L rod for TIG welding?
Select DCEN current on the machine, match the 0.045 in diameter to the collet and gas lens, then feed the 36 in rod by hand into the puddle.
What maintenance or replacement will the WESTWARD 41R355 1 lb ER316L package need later?
The 1 lb tube is consumed as filler metal; reorder when the remaining rods no longer cover the joint length required.
What limit appears first during sustained TIG welding with the WESTWARD 41R355 ER316L rod?
The 86 ksi tensile strength and 58 ksi yield strength define the mechanical ceiling of the deposited weld metal.
