Westward 41R327 Stainless Flux-Cored Wire
Westward 41R327 is a 1 lb spool of flux-cored welding wire made from stainless steel. It carries AWS classification E308LFC-O and measures .045 in diameter. The wire operates with self-shielded flux-cored process and DCEP current designation. It is supplied new on a plastic spool for flat and horizontal welding positions.
Suited for stainless steel fabrication and repair
This wire suits welders joining stainless steel to stainless steel where external shielding gas is not available. It is not intended for buyers who need gas-shielded wire, solid wire, or wire for vertical and overhead positions. The product contains chemicals listed under California Proposition 65 for cancer and reproductive harm. Users requiring different tensile strength or alloy composition should consider other specifications.
AWS E308LFC-O classification confirms application
The AWS E308LFC-O designation identifies this wire for flux-cored welding of 308L stainless grades with self-shielded operation. Tensile strength as welded reaches 75 ksi while yield strength is not rated. Welding current must be DCEP for proper performance. This classification is the primary reference for matching the wire to the required welding procedure.

Questions about this item
What does the 75 ksi tensile strength mean for the finished weld?
It indicates the weld deposit can withstand 75 thousand pounds per square inch of pulling force before breaking, which is typical for E308LFC-O stainless steel wire.
How does the self-shielded flux-cored process affect gas requirements?
No external shielding gas is needed because the flux core generates its own protective atmosphere, allowing use with a standard MIG gun set to DCEP polarity.
Will the .045 inch diameter spool fit my MIG gun liner and drive rolls?
The 0.045 inch wire requires a compatible 0.045 inch contact tip, liner and drive rolls; the 1 lb plastic spool fits most hobby and light-industrial wire feeders.
