Westward 49EG47 FCAW Welding Wire 0.045 in 33 lb
Flux-cored carbon-steel wire on a 33 lb plastic spool, 0.045 in diameter for self-shielded FCAW welding
- TypeWelding Supplies
- Flux-cored wire eliminates external shielding gas
- 045 in diameter suits medium-thickness carbon steel
- E71T-11 classification meets AWS structural standards
- 33 lb plastic spool supports long production runs
- 70 to 95 ksi tensile strength ensures strong joints
Wire diameter and application
This flux-cored welding wire measures 0.045 in diameter and comes on a 33 lb plastic spool. It is classified to AWS E71T-11 for self-shielded FCAW using DCEN current. The carbon-steel consumable is designed for carbon steel to carbon steel joints.
Who this suits and who it does not
It suits welders who need a portable, gasless process for structural or repair work on mild steel. Buyers who require a shielding-gas supply or who are welding non-ferrous alloys should look at a different wire type.
Tensile strength range
As-welded tensile strength falls between 70 and 95 ksi with a minimum yield of 58 ksi. These figures determine whether the deposit meets the mechanical requirements of your welding procedure.

Questions about this item
How do I set up the 0.045 in flux-cored wire on my MIG gun and what polarity mistake should I avoid?
Feed the 33 lb plastic spool onto the drive rolls, use 0.045 in tips and liners, and select DCEN polarity because the AWS E71T-11 classification requires electrode-negative current for self-shielded operation.
What consumables wear out first when running this E71T-11 wire continuously?
Contact tips and liners sized for 0.045 in diameter wear fastest; the flux core deposits slag that must be chipped between passes, and the 33 lb spool will need replacing once the 33 lb of carbon-steel wire is consumed.
At what tensile-strength range does the as-welded deposit reach its limit under sustained multi-pass loading?
The as-welded tensile strength is rated 70 to 95 ksi with a minimum yield of 58 ksi, so sustained loads approaching the 95 ksi upper bound will be the first mechanical limit reached.
