Using these Lincoln CarbonElite Hollow 12 Gouging Electrodes is quite straightforward. First, select the right electrode type (pointed, jointed, flat, or hollow) according to your application. For semi - automatic or automatic operations, make sure your equipment is properly set up. When using, keep in mind that the electrodes are designed to maximize metal removal. Some important things to note: Avoid overheating the electrodes. Although they are copper - coated to reduce heat, excessive heat can still affect performance. Also, ensure a stable arc for the best results. For maintenance, store the electrodes in a dry place. Keep them away from moisture as it can damage the copper coating and the graphite composition. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's a good idea to replace the electrode to maintain optimal performance.
