Westward 49EG45 FCAW Welding Wire
This Westward flux-cored welding wire is designed for carbon steel fabrication and repair work. The 33 lb plastic spool feeds E71T-11 classified wire for self-shielded FCAW processes. Operators using DCEN polarity can join carbon steel to carbon steel without external shielding gas. Tensile strength ranges from 70 to 95 ksi on the finished weld.
Suits self-shielded flux-cored applications
The self-shielded design suits outdoor or drafty environments where gas shielding is impractical. The 0.030 in diameter works with compatible wire feeders running DCEN current. Shops requiring gas-shielded wire, stainless steel consumables, or aluminium welding wire should select a different product. Buyers needing smaller spool weights for light-duty use may prefer alternative packaging.
Verify feeder compatibility and wire diameter
Confirm your wire feeder accepts 0.030 in flux-cored wire and is set for DCEN polarity. Ensure the drive rolls and liner match the wire size to prevent feeding issues. Check that your procedure allows E71T-11 classification for the intended joint. The spool weighs 33 lb, so confirm handling and storage space before ordering.

Questions about this item
Does my feeder need to accept a 33 lb plastic spool to run this wire?
The wire ships on a 33 lb plastic spool, so your wire feeder must accommodate that spool size and weight.
Can I use this self-shielded E71T-11 wire with my existing DCEN-only power source?
Yes, the AWS E71T-11 classification is designed for DCEN polarity and requires no external shielding gas.
How can I confirm the welds meet the 70 to 95 ksi tensile strength after I finish a joint?
Check that the bead profile is smooth with full fusion, then verify tensile performance through standard destructive or non-destructive testing per your welding procedure specification.
