Take control of your weld deposits with the Arcair 48-083-012 Carbon Plate, a premium accessory engineered to simplify difficult repair jobs. For welders facing the challenge of building up edges, repairing broken corners, or restoring mechanical parts like gears and sprockets, this carbon plate acts as the perfect barrier. Sized at 1/2" x 12" x 12", it offers a generous surface area that can be utilized as a single large backstop or cut into smaller, custom-shaped dams to suit specific project requirements.
The primary advantage of using Arcair carbon plates lies in their thermal properties and workability. The material is electrically conductive but highly resistant to heat, allowing it to support the molten weld pool without becoming part of the weld. This "damming" effect is crucial when working against gravity or when trying to re-establish a sharp edge on a worn component. By placing the carbon plate against the work area, you create a temporary mold that holds the liquid metal in place until it solidifies. Once the weld is complete, the carbon plate is easily removed, leaving a flat, clean surface that often requires little to no machining.
Welders Supply provides this product to professionals who demand efficiency and precision. It is particularly effective for "run-off" tabs or for protecting adjacent surfaces from spatter. The 1/2-inch thickness ensures rigidity, preventing the plate from warping under thermal stress. Whether you are performing arc gouging repairs or structural welding build-ups, having a stock of carbon plate material allows you to tackle complex geometries with confidence. It is a smart investment that pays for itself in labor savings and improved weld quality.
