CARBON ARC DC GOUGING RODS 6.5MM 50/PKT

Arc-air DC gouging carbons, expertly crafted for heavy-duty metal removal, are made by blending high-quality carbon/graphite with a binder, then baking and coating them with a precise layer of copper. This copper coating enhances electrical conductivity, delivering cooler operation and efficient energy usage. Designed for professional air-carbon arc gouging, these rods are versatile, durable, and high-performing, suitable for various applications in metalworking and fabrication.

Key Types of Gouging Carbons:

  1. Pointed Carbons: A versatile, all-purpose gouging electrode ideal for a variety of metal removal tasks. The copper coating aids in maintaining electrode stability at the arc’s tip.
  2. Jointed Carbons: These come with a male tang and female socket, eliminating stub loss for greater efficiency. They are compatible with both semi-automatic and fully automated torches.
  3. Flat Carbons: Specially designed for close tolerance applications, these provide precision in metal removal, producing a rectangular groove ideal for scarfing.

Applications and Features:

  • Positioning Flexibility: Arc-air gouging can be done in various positions—downhand, vertical, horizontal, and overhead—with a recommended stick-out of 180mm and an electrode angle of 35°.
  • Control and Precision: Travel speed affects groove depth; slower speeds yield deeper grooves, while faster speeds produce shallower ones.
  • Material Compatibility: Designed to remove metal cleanly from a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, these rods support DC operation with superior arc stability.
  • Enhanced Performance: Increased carrying capacity, capable of handling up to 800 amps, enables efficient metal removal while minimizing energy loss.

Usage and Safety Guidelines:

  • Ensure adequate eye protection (shade 12-14), ear protection, and clothing.
  • For optimal performance, dry damp rods at 180°C for 10 hours to prevent shattering.

Conditioning and Efficiency: High-efficiency gouging carbons utilize improved carbon composition and thicker copper coating to deliver up to 10% greater metal removal, allowing longer stick-out lengths and smoother current flow.

Perfect for industrial use, the CARBON ARC DC GOUGING RODS 6.5MM 50/PKT offer fast, hassle-free, and precise gouging, making them an indispensable tool for metal fabrication professionals.
