47323000 - Arcair 2 Inch x 12 Inch Heavy Duty Carbon Gouging Rod

Heavy-Duty Industrial Metal Removal

The Arcair 47323000 2x12 Carbon Rod is a specialized, high-capacity electrode engineered for the most demanding air carbon arc gouging applications. Manufactured by the industry leader in gouging technology, this rod features a substantial 2-inch diameter, making it suitable for heavy foundry work, large-scale casting finishing, and massive defect removal operations where standard electrodes would be inefficient.

Constructed from a precise blend of carbon and graphite, this electrode is designed to withstand extreme thermal shock and high amperage loads without fracturing. The rod is encased in a controlled copper coating, which serves a dual purpose: it significantly enhances electrical conductivity to maintain a stable, powerful arc, and it helps maintain the rod's structural integrity during operation. This ensures that the energy is efficiently transferred to the workpiece, resulting in rapid melting and ejection of molten metal.

In industrial environments such as steel mills, foundries, and heavy fabrication shops, the Arcair 2x12 rod provides the reliability needed for continuous, high-volume processing. Its uniform density and consistent diameter allow for predictable groove widths and depths, essential for maintaining quality control in automated or semi-automated gouging processes. Whether removing risers, pads, or deep cracks, this electrode delivers the performance required for heavy-duty material removal.
