Arcair 1/4" x 12" Copperclad Gouging Carbons

When you need to remove metal fast, trust the brand that invented the process. Arcair 47203000 Carbon Rods are the industry standard for air carbon arc gouging, giving welders the performance they need to tackle tough repair and fabrication jobs. Whether you are digging out a crack in a heavy casting, removing an old weld for rework, or beveling a plate edge, these 1/4-inch rods deliver a stable, powerful arc that melts metal instantly while the air jet blasts it away.

Why Choose Arcair Copperclad?
These rods aren't just bare carbon; they are coated in a controlled layer of copper. This coating keeps the rod cooler by carrying the current more efficiently, meaning you waste less energy heating the rod and put more heat into the work. The result is a cleaner groove, faster travel speeds, and less time changing out electrodes. The 12-inch length is perfect for standard holders, giving you enough reach without being unwieldy.

Applications:

• Weld Removal: Quickly gouge out porosity, cracks, or lack of fusion in mild steel, stainless, and alloy steels.
• Edge Prep: Create U-grooves for weld joints without the need for slow grinding or expensive machining.
• Maintenance & Repair: Essential for heavy equipment repair, foundry work, and structural steel maintenance.

These pointed carbons are designed to start easy and run smooth. Simply hook up your gouging torch to a DC welder (DCEP), set your air pressure, and you are ready to cut. With Arcair, you get consistent quality in every rod, ensuring no surprises when you strike an arc.
