22043003HC - Arcair CutSkill 1/4 Inch Hollow Gouging Electrodes

Efficient Metal Removal with Arcair CutSkill Hollow Carbons

The Arcair 22043003HC CutSkill Hollow Carbons are engineered for the demanding requirements of the air carbon-arc gouging process. These 1/4-inch by 12-inch electrodes feature a specialized hollow core design, distinct from standard solid pointed carbons. This hollow geometry aids in stabilizing the arc and can facilitate faster travel speeds or more uniform groove creation in certain applications. They are an essential consumable for welders and fabricators looking to remove old welds, prepare joints, or sever metal with precision and speed.

Manufactured with a high-grade graphite blend and coated in a controlled layer of copper, these electrodes offer superior electrical conductivity. The copper cladding not only helps keep the electrode cooler during operation but also maintains the rod's diameter, ensuring consistent groove widths throughout the length of the rod. Designed for use with Direct Current (DC) power sources on Reverse Polarity (DCEP), they are compatible with most standard air carbon arc gouging torches found in industrial settings.

The CutSkill line by Arcair represents a balance of performance and value, making these carbons a smart choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments as well as heavy fabrication shops. Whether you are back-gouging a weld seam or removing defects from a casting, these hollow carbons provide the reliability professionals expect from the industry leader in air carbon arc products.
