The Arcair DC Pointed Copperclad Gouging Electrode (SKU: 22053003) represents the pinnacle of air carbon-arc technology. Manufactured by ESAB, the originators of the Arcair process, these electrodes are designed to provide fabrication shops, shipyards, and maintenance facilities with a reliable solution for removing weld defects, preparing welding grooves, and severing metal. This specific product features a 5/16-inch diameter and a 12-inch length, making it a versatile choice for medium-to-heavy duty gouging applications requiring amperage between 350 and 450 amps.
The composition of these electrodes is a high-grade mixture of carbon and graphite, formulated to produce the most efficient metal removal rates in the industry. A key feature of the Arcair 22053003 is its controlled copper coating. This copper cladding serves a dual purpose: it significantly improves electrical conductivity, ensuring that energy is transferred efficiently to the arc, and it helps the electrode run cooler. Cooler operation is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of the rod during use, preventing premature consumption and ensuring the diameter remains consistent at the point of the arc. This results in a more uniform groove and less waste.
These pointed electrodes are designed for use with Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity. The pointed tip allows for easy arc starting and precise control when beginning a gouge. Whether you are removing old welds for repair or preparing plate edges for new fabrication, Arcair's consistent quality ensures reduced downtime and cleaner results. Packaged in cartons of 50, these rods are an essential consumable for any industrial operation utilizing the air carbon-arc process.
