Air Carbon-Arc Gouging Electrode Range

Frequently asked questions

What are these carbons used for?

They're designed for the air carbon-arc gouging process, which melts metal with an electric arc and then blows it away with a jet of compressed air for metal removal.

What sizes and pack quantities are available?

They come in diameters from 4.0mm up to 19.0mm (in 305mm and 430mm lengths), and in pack sizes of 25, 50 and 100.

Which metals can I gouge with them?

They're suitable for efficient gouging of most metals, including carbon steel, ductile irons, copper, aluminium and other high-strength alloys.

What makes these gouging carbons perform well?

They contain a precisely formulated blend of carbon and graphite for efficient metal removal, giving excellent arc stability, superior metal removal rates, resistance to breakage, uniform diameter and clean, slag-free grooves.

Do I need compressed air to use them?

Yes. The air carbon-arc process removes metal by melting it with the arc and then blowing the molten metal away with a jet of compressed air, so a compressed air supply is required.
