OVERVIEW

Maximize Productivity with Arcair Jointed Gouging Carbons

For professional welders and fabricators, time is money, and material waste is a leak in the budget. The Arcair 1/2" x 14" DCCC Jointed Gouging Electrodes are designed to tackle both issues head-on. If you are performing heavy gouging, weld removal, or edge preparation, these rods are your best friend. The standout feature here is the jointed design. Instead of throwing away the last 3 inches of every rod because your torch can't hold it, you simply snap a new rod onto the back of the old one and keep working. This continuous feed system means you stop less often and use 100% of the carbon you paid for.

The performance of these rods is exactly what you expect from Arcair, the industry leader in gouging technology. The copper coating isn't just for looks; it keeps the rod running cool and the arc smooth. It ensures that the current transfers efficiently from your torch to the work, blasting away molten metal with clean, uniform grooves. Whether you are working in a foundry, a shipyard, or a heavy equipment repair shop, the stability of the arc allows for precise control, reducing the amount of post-gouge grinding needed.

This 100-pack is ideal for shops that run serious amperage and need consistent results. The 1/2-inch diameter is a workhorse size, capable of moving a lot of metal quickly. By choosing jointed DCCC rods, you are choosing a smoother workflow. You aren't just buying consumables; you are upgrading your process to be faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective. Load up your torch and experience the difference of continuous, interruption-free gouging.

FAQ

DCCC stands for Direct Current Copper Coated. It indicates the electrode is designed for DC currents and has a copper layer to improve conductivity.

Jointed electrodes allow you to connect a new rod to the stub of the previous one. This eliminates the waste of discarding the 'stub' end, allowing for 100% consumption of the electrode material.

These electrodes have a diameter of 1/2 inch and a length of 14 inches.

No, DCCC electrodes are specifically designed for Direct Current (DC) applications, typically DCEP (Reverse Polarity).

This product (SKU 24082003) comes in a package of 100 electrodes.

They are typically used for heavy-duty metal removal, such as back-gouging thick plates, removing large welds, or foundry work.

You do not need a special torch, but you must ensure your gouging torch is rated for the amperage required by a 1/2-inch electrode.

The copper coating improves electrical conductivity, helps keep the electrode cool, and maintains the rod's diameter for uniform groove width.
