OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Metal Removal with Arcair CutSkill DCCC Carbons

The Arcair 24124003C CutSkill DCCC Gouging Carbons are engineered for professionals who demand efficiency and reliability in metal removal applications. These 3/4-inch by 17-inch electrodes are part of the renowned CutSkill line, designed to offer a balance of performance and value. Sold in a substantial box of 100, these carbons are ideal for high-volume industrial environments such as foundries, shipyards, and heavy fabrication shops where downtime must be minimized.

The "DCCC" designation stands for Direct Current Copper Coated. This copper coating is not merely aesthetic; it plays a crucial role in the electrode's performance. By improving electrical conductivity, the coating ensures that the arc remains stable and intense, allowing for rapid removal of base metal. Furthermore, the coating helps to maintain the electrode's diameter uniformity, which is critical for consistent groove widths during the gouging process. Whether you are removing old welds, preparing plate edges for welding, or digging out cracks and porosity, these carbons provide the control needed for precise work.

At 3/4 inch in diameter, these electrodes are built for heavy-duty applications requiring significant amperage. They are capable of removing large amounts of material quickly, making them a superior alternative to mechanical grinding or chipping in many scenarios. The 17-inch length reduces the frequency of electrode changes, allowing operators to maintain focus and momentum. When paired with a suitable air carbon arc gouging torch and compressed air supply, the Arcair CutSkill carbons blast away molten metal cleanly, leaving a surface that is often ready for welding with minimal secondary preparation.

Josef Gas provides these high-quality consumables to support maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) teams across various industries. By choosing Arcair, you are investing in a brand that invented the air carbon arc process, ensuring that you receive a product backed by decades of expertise and innovation. Equip your shop with the 24124003C carbons to experience smoother gouging, reduced heat input compared to thermal cutting, and overall improved productivity.

FAQ

DCCC stands for Direct Current Copper Coated. It indicates that the carbon electrode is designed for use with DC current and features a copper coating to improve conductivity and arc stability.

The copper coating improves electrical conductivity, helps keep the electrode cooler during operation, maintains diameter uniformity, and reduces electrode breakage.

These large diameter carbons require a power source with high amperage output and a high duty cycle, typically found in heavy industrial welding machines. You must ensure your machine can sustain the amperage required for a 3/4" electrode.

These electrodes are designed for Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

The Arcair 24124003C box contains 100 pieces of 3/4" x 17" gouging carbons.

The 3/4-inch size is typically used for heavy-duty applications such as foundry work, removing large welds, or processing thick metal plates where high metal removal rates are necessary.

Yes, the air carbon arc gouging process requires a supply of compressed air (typically 80-100 PSI) to blow away the molten metal created by the arc.

Yes, carbon arc gouging can be used on stainless steel, as well as carbon steel and other alloys, because the process melts the metal rather than oxidizing it.
