OVERVIEW

Maximize Efficiency with Arcair 1" Jointed Gouging Rods

Arcair's reputation for excellence in air carbon arc gouging is fully realized in their 1" x 17" Jointed DCCC Carbons (SKU: 24164003C). These electrodes are the workhorses of the heavy metal industry, designed to cut, gouge, and bevel metals with speed and precision. The "DCCC" designation indicates a high-density carbon-graphite formulation coated in copper, optimized for Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity. This composition ensures a stable arc and smooth groove geometry.

The jointed configuration of these rods is a game-changer for high-volume operations. Instead of discarding the remaining stub of a consumed rod, the operator simply mates a new rod to the end of the current one. This seamless transition allows for uninterrupted gouging passes, which is essential when working on long seams or large surface areas. The precise machining of the joints ensures a solid electrical and mechanical connection, preventing overheating at the junction.

Packaged in boxes of 25, these 1-inch diameter rods are substantial consumables meant for heavy-duty torches and power sources with significant output capacity. They are particularly effective on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other alloys commonly processed in heavy industry. By choosing Arcair jointed carbons, you are investing in reduced material waste and increased operational throughput.

Features & Benefits

  • Continuous Feed: Jointed ends allow for non-stop gouging.
  • High Removal Rate: 1-inch diameter supports high amperage for deep cuts.
  • Stability: Copper coating improves arc control and rod life.
  • Economy: Eliminates stub waste, saving money over time.

FAQ

DCCC stands for Direct Current Copper Coated. It indicates the rod is designed for use with DC power and has a copper layer to improve conductivity.

Jointed carbons allow you to connect a new rod to the end of the used one, enabling continuous operation and eliminating the waste associated with discarding stubs.

1-inch diameter carbons typically require a very high amperage range, generally between 1200 and 1600 amps, depending on the specific application and depth of cut.

Likely not. 1-inch rods are very large and usually require heavy-duty foundry torches or automated gouging heads designed to accept this diameter.

This product (24164003C) comes in a box of 25 rods.

Yes, carbon arc gouging can be used on stainless steel, although it is most commonly used on carbon steels. Subsequent grinding is often required to remove carbon pickup.

These rods are 17 inches (approximately 432 mm) long.

No, these are DCCC rods designed specifically for Direct Current (DC) power sources. AC carbons are a different product line.
