Reliable Metal Removal for Tough Jobs

When you are facing a massive metal removal job or need to prep a large surface area, standard gouging rods might not always be the right fit. Enter the Arcair 48163012 Carbon Plate. Measuring a solid 1 inch thick and 12 inches square, this block of high-quality carbon graphite is built to take the heat. It is designed for welders and fabricators who need to move serious metal or perform specialized gouging tasks that require a flat, broad electrode surface. With Arcair's legendary quality, you can trust this plate to hold up under high amperage without crumbling or overheating unpredictably.

Using the right carbon makes all the difference in how clean your gouge is and how easy the cleanup will be afterward. This plate provides a stable arc and burns evenly, giving you better control over the wash. It is perfect for foundry work, removing risers, or washing pads off castings where a flat approach is more efficient than multiple passes with a round rod. The 1-inch thickness means it lasts longer, saving you time on replacements and letting you focus on getting the work done. It’s a serious tool for serious fabricators who demand the best from their consumables.

Don't settle for brittle carbons that snap when you look at them wrong. Arcair plates are formulated to resist breakage and thermal shock, so you can keep working efficiently.
