22983003 - Arcair 5/32 x 12 DC Pointed Copperclad Gouging Electrodes (50 Pack)

Precision Gouging with Arcair DC Pointed Carbons

Maximize your productivity and achieve professional results with the Arcair 5/32" x 12" DC Pointed Copperclad Gouging Electrodes. Recognized globally as the industry standard for air carbon-arc gouging, these rods are built to withstand the tough conditions of both the workshop and the field. Whether you are back-gouging a weld seam to ensure full penetration, removing old or defective welds, or severing metal parts, Arcair's Copperclad technology ensures you get the job done faster, cleaner, and more efficiently.

The performance advantage lies in the superior blend of carbon and graphite, wrapped in a high-quality copper sheath. This copper coating is not merely cosmetic; it dramatically improves electrical conductivity, keeping the rod significantly cooler during operation compared to plain carbon rods. A cooler running electrode means less burning back and better maintenance of the rod's original diameter. This stability gives you a consistent groove from start to finish, eliminating the frustration of uneven tapering or splintering under heat. The result is a smooth, uniform channel that requires less grinding and cleanup before re-welding.

Packaged in a convenient heavy-duty box of 50, these 12-inch electrodes are ready for high-volume work. They are specifically designed for DC current and perform best on DCEP (Reverse Polarity), making them compatible with most standard industrial welding power sources equipped for gouging. With a versatile amperage range of 90-150 amps, these 5/32" rods are perfect for detailed work where control is paramount. Trust Arcair for consumables that deliver reliability and performance when it matters most.
