24064003 - Arcair 3/8" x 17" DC Jointed Copperclad Gouging Electrodes (Box of 100)

Maximize Efficiency with Continuous Gouging Operations

The Arcair 24064003 DC Jointed Copperclad Gouging Electrodes are engineered for industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue. These 3/8-inch by 17-inch electrodes feature a specialized jointed design, allowing operators to connect a new electrode to the back of the one in use. This "continuous feed" capability eliminates stub loss—the wasted portion of a standard rod that is typically discarded—thereby maximizing material usage and significantly reducing changeover time. For large-scale fabrication, shipyards, and foundries, this translates to measurable cost savings and improved workflow continuity.

Manufactured with a high-purity blend of carbon and graphite, these electrodes are designed to withstand the intense heat and physical demands of air carbon-arc gouging. The copper coating serves a dual purpose: it enhances electrical conductivity for a stable, consistent arc, and it helps maintain the structural integrity of the rod during operation. This results in a cooler running electrode that removes metal rapidly and cleanly. Packaged in boxes of 100, these electrodes provide a reliable supply for high-volume metal removal tasks, ensuring your team has the premium tools necessary to maintain peak productivity.

Whether you are removing defective welds, preparing plate edges for welding, or removing risers in a casting facility, the Arcair jointed system offers a superior solution to standard pointed rods. By reducing waste and frequency of interruptions, these electrodes support a leaner, more efficient operation.
