5/32 Inch DC Copper Coated Gouging Electrodes - 50 Pack

Reliable Gouging Rods for Every Job

When you need to cut, groove, or bevel metal quickly, these 5/32" DC Gouging Carbons are the tool for the job. Sold in a convenient box of 50, these rods are a workshop essential for welders who perform maintenance, repair, or heavy fabrication. Whether you are digging out an old crack in a casting or prepping a plate edge for a full-penetration weld, these carbons provide the heat and stability you need to get the metal moving.

The rods feature a heavy copper coating that helps transfer current efficiently from your torch to the workpiece, keeping the rod cooler and extending its life. This means fewer rod changes and more time working. The 5/32" diameter is perfect for general-purpose gouging where you need a balance between removing material quickly and keeping the groove manageable. They work seamlessly with standard air carbon arc gouging torches and standard welding power sources set to DC.

Clean Grooves and Easy Operation

Using inferior carbons can lead to erratic arcs and messy grooves that require excessive grinding to clean up. These DC532 carbons are designed to burn evenly, producing a smooth, bright groove that is often ready for welding with little to no secondary preparation. The pointed tip allows for easy arc starting, and the sturdy composition resists snapping during operation. Stock up your shop with this 50-pack and ensure you are always ready for demolition or prep work.
