Type
Carbon rods for gouging
Applications

Carbon gouging rods or carbon electrodes, are specialized tools used in a welding process known as air carbon arc gouging. This process is commonly employed to cut, groove, and remove metal efficiently, particularly in welding and fabrication industries.

  • Weld Removal: Removing defective or old welds without damaging the base material.
  • Joint Preparation: Preparing edges for welding by creating grooves or bevels.
  • Back Gouging: Removing material from the reverse side of a weld to ensure complete penetration.

Properties
  • Carbon and Graphite: The core of the rod is made from a blend of carbon and graphite, which provides high electrical conductivity and heat resistance.
  • Copper Coating: The rods are coated with copper to enhance electrical conductivity, arc stability, and to protect against oxidation.
