Our gouging carbons are designed especially for the carbon-arc metal removal process, which melts metal with an electric arc and then blows it away 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. Excellent arc stability Superior metal removal rates Resistance to breakage Provide uniform diameter Clean slag-free grooves Efficient gouging of most metals Including carbon, ductile irons, copper, aluminium,and other high-strength alloys.
