Electrodes Gouging Carbons 1/4 X 12

Arc Gouding Carbon Electrodes Are Copper Clad And Designed Specifically For The Air Carbon Arc Process. They Are A Flexible, Efficient And Cost Effective Way For Metal Removal On Practically Any Metal: Carbon Steel, Other Ferrous Alloys, Cast Iron, Aluminum, Nickel, Copper Alloys And Other Nonferrous Metals. Metal Removal On Practically Any Metal; Creating "U" Grooves For Weld Joints, Gougin Out Cracks, Removing Hard Surface Materials, Removing Old Welds And Many Other Applications. Procedure: Ac Or Dc. The Electrode Should Extend At Most 7" From The Gouging Torch With The Air Jet Between The Electrode And Work Piece. Rod Angle To Work Is 35 Degrees To 45 Degrees. Always Use The Push Technique. The Depth And Contour Of The Groove Produced Are Controlled By The Electrode Diameter And Travel Speed. Groove Depths Greater Than 1-1/2 Times The Diameter Must Be In Multiple Passes. The Width Of The Groove Is Determined By The Electrode Diameter Used And Is Usually 1/8" Wider Than The Diameter. Consult Carbon Arc Torch Manual For Air Pressure Settings.
