OVERVIEW

Smooth, Stable Gouging Performance

Take control of your weld preparation and repair work with Lincoln Electric KP3800-3/16 CarbonElite Pointed Gouging Electrodes. Whether you are removing old welds, prepping cracks for repair, or beveling edges, these high-quality carbon rods deliver the performance you need to get the job done right. Known for their reliability, CarbonElite electrodes are a favorite among professional welders for their ability to cut through metal cleanly and quickly using the air carbon arc gouging process.

What sets these electrodes apart is their superior construction. The copper coating on each rod isn't just for show; it provides excellent conductivity, which means you get a stable arc that stays lit and cuts smoothly. This stability allows for cleaner grooves and less cleanup time afterward. Additionally, the high-density carbon formula makes these rods tougher than standard electrodes, so they are less likely to snap or break while you are working. This durability means you use fewer rods per job, saving you money in the long run.

The pointed design of the 3/16-inch electrode makes it an incredibly versatile tool for your shop. It is perfect for getting into tight spaces or creating precise grooves. Because they generate less excess heat, you can maintain better control over the puddle and the depth of the gouge. This 50-pack supply ensures you are stocked up for big jobs, reducing downtime spent reordering consumables. Upgrade your gouging setup with Lincoln Electric CarbonElite and experience the difference in arc quality and metal removal speed.

FAQ

These electrodes are used for Air Carbon Arc Gouging, a process used to sever or remove metal by melting it with an electric arc and blowing it away with a jet of compressed air.

The dense copper coating improves electrical conductivity, ensures excellent arc stability, and helps reduce heat generation, leading to a more efficient melt-off rate.

Carbon arc gouging can be used on most metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and copper alloys. However, specific techniques may vary by material.

These electrodes are 12 inches long.

The KP3800-3/16 comes in a package of 50 electrodes.

Pointed electrodes are versatile, all-purpose rods ideal for manual gouging operations where flexibility and groove control are required. Flat electrodes are typically used for removing weld reinforcement or creating flat surfaces.

Yes, these require a carbon arc gouging torch (often referred to as an Arcair torch) connected to a welding power source and a compressed air supply.

While exact settings depend on the machine and application, 3/16" carbons typically operate in the range of 200 to 300 Amps DCEP.
