42059006 - Arcair Sea-Dragon Underwater Cutting Electrodes 5/16 x 9 Inch (Box of 50)

Professional Underwater Cutting Solutions

The Arcair 42-059-006 Sea-Dragon Cutting Electrodes are engineered for the demanding environment of underwater salvage and construction. Manufactured by Arcair, a leader in air carbon-arc gouging and exothermic cutting technologies, these electrodes are designed to deliver consistent performance when submerged. Each rod measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, a standard size that balances cutting capacity with ease of handling for the diver.

Crucial to their operation is the high-quality, waterproof insulating coating. This coating serves a dual purpose: it protects the core material from water absorption which could degrade performance, and it provides necessary dielectric insulation to prevent side-arcing and electrical leakage, ensuring the energy is focused entirely at the cutting tip. This results in a cleaner, more efficient cut and increased safety for the operator.

These electrodes are packaged in quantities of 50, making them a convenient stock item for ongoing marine projects. They are compatible with the Arcair Sea-Dragon torch as well as other industry-standard underwater cutting holders. Whether used for cutting steel pilings, hull repairs, or clearing debris, these electrodes provide the thermal energy required to sever metals rapidly in aquatic conditions.

Key Industrial Benefits

For industrial MRO and marine contractors, reliability is paramount. The Sea-Dragon electrodes reduce downtime caused by poor arc starts or coating disintegration. Their robust construction ensures they hold up during transport and handling on dive boats and offshore platforms.
