For professional welders and fabricators dealing with heavy metal removal, the Arcair 24124003 3/4" x 17" DCCC Jointed Electrodes offer the ultimate solution in efficiency and performance. Arcair, the inventor of the air carbon-arc process, manufactures these rods to precise standards, ensuring a uniform density and diameter that professional gougers rely on. This 100-pack box is ideal for high-production environments where stopping to change rods means lost money.
The standout feature of these electrodes is the jointed connection system. Traditional non-jointed rods result in "stub loss"—the wasted portion of the rod that cannot be used once it becomes too short to hold in the torch. With these jointed carbons, you can mate a new rod to the back of the one currently in use. This allows for a continuous duty cycle, making them perfect for automated gouging carriages or long manual runs where interruption affects the quality of the groove. The mechanical connection is tight and conductive, ensuring the arc remains stable as the joint passes through the torch jaws.
These DCCC (DC Copper Coated) rods are designed for use with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity. The copper coating serves multiple purposes: it enhances arc stability, improves current transfer from the torch to the carbon, and helps keep the rod cooler during operation. With a 3/4-inch diameter, these rods are heavy hitters, designed for use with high-capacity power sources and heavy-duty torches. They excel at gouging out cracks, removing temporary welded attachments, and preparing weld joints in thick plate sections.
