Rod Diameter and Length

The Westward 20AN52 is a TIG welding rod made from stainless steel. It measures 0.062 inches in diameter and 36 inches long, supplied in a 1 lb box. The rod carries an AWS ER308LSi classification and a tensile strength of 55,000 psi.

Suitable Applications and Limits

This filler metal suits fabricators joining austenitic stainless steels with TIG processes. Welders who require a different AWS classification, a larger diameter, or a non-stainless alloy should look at other options.

AWS Classification Decides Fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the AWS ER308LSi classification. Match this code to your procedure or base material requirement before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What equipment is required to use this 1/16" diameter ER308LSi TIG welding rod?

A TIG welding power source capable of 55,000 psi tensile strength output with argon shielding gas supply and a compatible torch setup for 0.062 inch filler metal.

Will this 36 inch length stainless steel rod fit in my existing TIG torch and feeder for 1/16" consumables?

Yes, the 36 inch length and 0.062 inch diameter match standard 1/16" TIG consumable sizing for most torch bodies and wire feeders designed for this classification.

How do I verify the weld deposit meets the 55,000 psi tensile strength specification after welding?

Perform a visual inspection for clean bead appearance and proper fusion, then conduct destructive tensile testing or non-destructive examination per AWS ER308LSi qualification procedures.
