20043003 - Arcair 1/4 x 12 DC Copperclad Pointed Gouging Carbons (50 Pack)

Arcair 1/4" Pointed Gouging Carbons - 50 Pack

When you need to blow out a bad weld or prep a heavy plate for a new joint, you reach for Arcair. This 50-pack of 1/4-inch x 12-inch pointed carbons (20043003) gives you the reliability and performance you expect from the brand that invented the air carbon-arc process. These are the go-to rods for most standard gouging torches found in fab shops and shipyards across the country.

Why choose these copper-clad sticks? It comes down to heat and speed. The copper coating helps carry the current efficiently, meaning the rod stays cooler and lasts longer, while the carbon core burns hot enough to melt through steel, stainless, and cast iron. The pointed tip is perfect for getting started exactly where you need to; whether you are chasing a hairline crack or gouging out a root pass, you get precise control right from the arc strike.

These rods are designed to run on DCEP (reverse polarity), typically between 300 and 400 amps. They work seamlessly with standard air supplies (80-100 psi) to blast away molten metal cleanly. Using genuine Arcair consumables means less sputtering, fewer rod breaks, and a cleaner groove that's ready for re-welding sooner. Don't waste time with inferior carbons that overheat or crumble—stock up on the industry standard and keep your production moving.
