Pointed Gouging Carbons 5mm x 305mm (Pack of 100)

Gouging electrodes designed specifically for the air carbon arc metal removal process which melts metal with an electric arc, then removes it with a jet of compressed air. These carbons contain a precisely formulated blend of carbon and graphite that produces the most efficient metal removal performance. They offer excellent arc stability, superior metal removal rates, uniform diameter and clean slag - free grooves or cuts.

Gouging carbons are ideal for a broad range of applications, such as creating U-grooves for weld joint preparations, removing old welds, gouging out cracks, cleaning and repairing castings, removing hard surface metal, and for rough machining.

They are made for use in any type of gouging torches connected to a D. C. power supply and compressed air source. The amperage required depends on the electrode diameter; an electrode is usually selected to make grooves or cuts slightly larger than its diameter.
