OVERVIEW

Precision Metal Removal with Arcair Technology

The Arcair DC Pointed Copperclad Gouging Electrode (3/16" x 12") is engineered for professionals who demand efficiency and precision in metal removal tasks. As the inventor of the air carbon-arc process, Arcair continues to lead the industry by combining proven technology with superior manufacturing standards. This 50-pack of electrodes (Model 22033003) is designed to provide a high-grade, all-purpose solution for a wide range of industrial applications, from heavy fabrication to general maintenance.

At the heart of these electrodes is a high-density synthetic graphite core. This premium material ensures excellent arc stability and rapid metal removal rates, allowing operators to work faster and more effectively. The rod is encased in a controlled copper coating, which serves a dual purpose: it significantly improves electrical conductivity for efficient energy transfer and helps maintain the electrode's diameter during operation. This results in cooler running temperatures and a consistent groove width, reducing the need for secondary cleanup or rework.

These electrodes are specifically optimized for Direct Current (DC) power sources using DCEP (Reverse Polarity). With an operating range of 200 to 250 amps, they are perfectly suited for gouging out defective welds, preparing joints for welding, or removing old hardware in repair shops and on farms. The 3/16-inch diameter offers versatility for various groove sizes, while the 12-inch length provides a substantial amount of consumable material to minimize downtime associated with rod changes.

Reliability is key in demanding environments, and Arcair's manufacturing process ensures that each electrode performs consistently from the first arc strike to the last inch. The copper coating adheres tightly to the graphite core, preventing flaking and ensuring a smooth, stable arc. Whether you are performing maintenance on agricultural equipment or structural repairs in a fabrication shop, the Arcair DC Pointed Copperclad Electrodes deliver the performance required to complete the job safely and efficiently.

FAQ

The recommended amperage range for the 3/16" diameter electrodes is 200 to 250 amps.

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

The controlled copper coating improves electrical conductivity for more efficient operation and helps keep the electrode cooler, maintaining its diameter at the point of the arc.

This package contains 50 Arcair DC Pointed Copperclad Gouging Electrodes.

No, these specific electrodes are designed for DC current types. Arcair manufactures other specific electrodes for AC applications.

They are made of a high-grade synthetic graphite core with a copper cladding.

They are primarily used for fabrication, maintenance, farm repairs, and in repair shops for removing metal, gouging out welds, and preparing joints.

The rod has a diameter of 3/16 inches (4.8mm) and a length of 12 inches (30.5cm).
