The Arcair 24124003 3/4" x 17" DCCC Jointed Gouging Electrodes are engineered for the most demanding metal removal applications. Designed for use with air carbon-arc gouging torches, these rods are essential for industries requiring rapid removal of metal, such as foundries, shipyards, and heavy steel fabrication. The "DCCC" designation stands for Direct Current Copper Coated, indicating these rods are optimized for DC currents and feature a high-quality copper sheath that improves electrical conductivity and helps maintain rod integrity under intense heat.
What sets this product apart is its "Jointed" design. Each rod is machined with a socket and tang (female and male ends), allowing a new electrode to be firmly attached to the stub of the previous one. This feature is critical for automated or semi-automated processes and high-volume manual gouging, as it virtually eliminates stub loss. Instead of discarding the last few inches of a rod, the operator simply connects the next one and continues working. This continuous feed capability translates to significant cost savings and reduced downtime over the course of a project.
With a substantial 3/4-inch diameter, these electrodes are built for high-amperage applications, typically operating between 1200 and 1600 amps. They are capable of creating wide, deep U-grooves and removing large volumes of weld metal or base material quickly. The 100-pack quantity ensures that your facility remains stocked for extensive operations. Whether used for back-gouging welds, removing defects, or preparing plate edges, Arcair's industry-leading formulation of carbon and graphite ensures a stable arc and consistent groove geometry.
