22023003 - Arcair 1/8" DC CopperClad Pointed Gouging Carbons (100-Pack)

Arcair 22023003: The Welder's Choice for Precision Gouging

When it comes to removing old welds or preparing joints for re-welding, precision and speed are paramount. The Arcair 1/8" x 12" DC Pointed CopperClad Gouging Electrodes (SKU: 22023003) are the go-to consumable for welders who demand the best. Packaged in a convenient box of 100, these carbons are designed to work seamlessly with your air carbon arc gouging torch to melt and blow away metal efficiently.

Superior Conductivity and Stability
What sets Arcair CopperClad electrodes apart is the high-grade copper coating. This isn't just for show; it improves the transfer of current from the torch jaws to the arc point. Better conductivity means the rod runs cooler and the arc starts easier and stays stable. For the operator, this means less frustration with arc wandering and more focus on following the gouge line accurately. The 1/8-inch diameter is perfect for fine detail work where a larger rod would remove too much material or lack the necessary finesse.

Versatile Applications
These DC pointed carbons are essential for a variety of tasks. Use them to gouge out cracks in transmission housings, remove temporary lifting lugs, or prepare plate edges for welding. They are compatible with standard DC welding power sources and require a compressed air supply to effectively blast away the molten pool. Operating between 60 and 90 Amps, they offer a manageable heat input that is ideal for maintenance and repair operations on mild steel, stainless steel, and other conductive metals.

Consistent Quality
Arcair's manufacturing process ensures that every rod in the box of 100 performs exactly like the last. The dense carbon mixture prevents the rod from splintering or uneven burning, giving you a smooth, clean groove every time. Stop struggling with inferior carbons that break or overheat—upgrade to Arcair CopperClad and experience the difference in your metal removal processes.
