Carbon Steel Flux-Cored Wire
Westward 49EG46 is a self-shielded FCAW wire for carbon steel to carbon steel welding. The E71T-11 classification runs on DCEN polarity with no external gas supply needed. It suits fabrication, repair and field work where gas cylinders are impractical. The 33 lb plastic spool feeds through standard wire feeders.
0.035 in Diameter Capacity
The 0.035 in wire diameter handles light to medium gauges in flat and horizontal positions. Tensile strength reaches 70 to 95 ksi as welded with a minimum yield of 58 ksi. Penetration drops off on thick plate or vertical-up passes. Heavy structural sections will need a larger diameter or a different process.
Thermals and Power in Use
DCEN polarity concentrates heat at the workpiece for steady fusion. Self-shielded flux generates its own shielding so there is no gas flow to manage. Spatter levels are typical for E71T-11 and require normal post-weld cleanup. Operator comfort depends on the power source settings chosen for the joint.

Questions about this item
Will the 0.035 in diameter wire feed reliably through my existing flux-cored gun liner and drive rolls?
The 0.035 in diameter matches standard flux-cored gun liners and drive rolls; the plastic spool fits common wire feeders for carbon steel FCAW.
How do I verify the wire meets the E71T-11 spec after my first welds?
Confirm DCEN polarity, self-shielded operation on carbon steel, and that deposited metal meets 70 to 95 ksi tensile and 58 ksi minimum yield strength.
Does the 33 lb plastic spool include any contact tips or drive rolls, or must I buy them separately?
The box contains only the 33 lb plastic spool of E71T-11 flux-cored wire; contact tips, drive rolls and liner are purchased separately.
