Arcair, the pioneer of the original air carbon-arc process and a 60-year industry leader, presents this high-grade, all-purpose copper-clad gouging electrode. Its precisely controlled copper coating boosts electrical conductivity, enabling more efficient and cooler operation. It also helps maintain the electrode diameter at the arc point. Ideal for fabrication, maintenance, farms, and repair shops. Current type: D.C. Operating polarity: DCEP (Reverse Polarity). Electrode size: 1/4' x 12' (6.4mm x 30.5cm). Amperage capacity: 300 - 400 amps. 50 pieces per carton.
Using these Arcair carbon arc gouging rods is easy. First, make sure your power source is set to D.C. with the DCEP (Reverse Polarity) operating mode. Then, adjust the amperage to between 300 - 400 amps depending on your needs. When starting to gouge, hold the rod at a proper angle to the work surface. Remember, safety first! Wear appropriate protective gear like goggles, gloves, and a welding mask. As for maintenance, keep the rods in a dry place to prevent rusting. After use, check the copper coating. If it's worn out, it might affect the rod's performance, so it's time to replace it.
